I’ve have always had anxiety and health anxiety.
Recently it has become so bad again that I took myself to the ER for chest pains and left side tingling and “weakness.” My heart rate when I got there was 130. And leaving was 90. They did an ekg, ran blood test for clotting, d dimer, heart failure, and urine. Everything was normal. They gave me Ativan and an IV for dehydration. Which helped.
I also haven’t been sleeping well like maybe 4 hours asleep each night or less for the last couple months. I started to become aware that my heart beats so fast when I stand up and I can’t put it out of my mind. I’ve stopped eating. I have muscle fatigue that switches from right to left and almost feels like my face on one side is numb. I feel like I can’t walk and my head is so floaty. I feel out of breath but my oxygen levels are good. So I would say I’m not actually out of breath.
I’m so aware of every body sensation. I feel crippled. My question is does anyone think that an ekg is enough? Possible to have a heart blockage or something else or possible an impending stroke or heart attack or arteries blocked or bad circulation on one side to feel the tingling. I obviously need to see a primary doctor but just looking for a little advice. This also happen 3 years ago and then finally went away.
