Re: Very scared - aware of heart ALL the time
I know what you are going through too. I am the same. I also have ectopics which make matters worse for me.
Bonfire night tonight and i have done the cooking for this, did really well, but my heart was going so fast i thought i would die at any moment. It was doing 120 whilst i was in the kitchen and i do not find this acceptable by any means. It stayed high all night, even sitting it was 100 and even worse after i had eaten, always goes up then anyway.
But it is now 78 and i am happier with that, still here, writing this. But i do hate it very, very much.
There was an article i read not so long ago about a woman who bought a heart monitor so she could check her pulse to exercise and lose weight. It made her very conscious of her pulse rate and she started to wear it all the time and check her pulse while she was doing everyday things. She listed a few things which i can't remember, but i do remember one and that was pulse rate of 120bpm whilst putting on a t shirt! This has stuck in my mind because my heart does 120 quite often and it scares me, and i try and remember that woman and think that she was going through the same and without my problems so i must be ok too. Sometimes it makes me feel a little better about it, but i still hate it.x
