Hi, hope everyone is doing well.

I've suffered with anxiety since my teens (I'm 42 now) and my HA is long and complex, however, the past few months, and despite the fact we are all facing this pandemic, I've been doing pretty great. This is down to some great advice from the people on here and trying to re-train my brain.

Anyway, I've suffered with ectopic beats for a few years now and I have periods where I hardly get them and some where I get a few but I've been learning to deal with them but, if I ever get a big one or a big flutter, I'm off on the panic again and it's a downward spiral...I seem to get them most around a week to a few days before my period. The other night I had a big thud in my chest that sent me off on a panic and then the day after my 2 year old had a very nasty fall onto her face whilst she was with my mother in law so I was very stressed the day after and then more ectopic started, more panic, more ectopics...

I've not been sleeping well. I go to bed late, wake up a lot etc. I know I have a lot of stress at the moment as I am working full time (working on the legal side of the covid19 vacc sites funnily enough!) and am having to homeschool my 8 year old who has autism and have my 2 year old 2 days a week when we don't have childcare so I rarely have any time to switch off or to dedicate to myself. I guess I am pretty stressed.

The last few days I've been feeling tired and a bit woozy. That's the best way I can describe it. My eyes also feel heavy. It's not like a lightheadedness or dizziness as such, more just a spaced out feeling which I've had many times before but the feeling just causes me to panic. I don't know if it's tiredness but my anxious mind keeps telling me it's my heart. I've also been feeling nauseous too and my reflux flares up when I've been stressed and not eating great.

For background. I've had numerous 24hr ecgs, 7 day recording, echo and bloods and been discharged from cardiology twice with ectopics and anxiety. I had a load of bloods done last August and all that showed up was slightly low iron which I needed to rectify through diet.

Do these sound like anxiety symptoms? I get a trigger and then I start feeling ill but then I just end up thinking I've got something wrong with me and my anxiety goes into overdrive. I woke up numerous times last night checking my pulse. I feel very depressed this morning like I can't function.

Any advice or input would be great x
