Dear All,

Finally ended up going to A & E last week (5th June). Chest discomfort / jaw ache completly exhausted. Kept me in over night, 4 ECG'S Bloods done special cardio blood test done.

Well ECG'S were all okay (depites my blood pressure being high 150/85) blood's were clear, however they did worry me when they said that the first cardiac blood test was slightly raised (they did say that this can be raised in people that do a lot of cardio vascular excercise which I do/ did?). I was in complete fear all night. I had special cardio blood test done @ six in the morning (feared to death awaiting results) however that came back fine all clear. discharged in the morning. Consultant said he would send me for the heart stress test, to (his words) rubber stamp everything.

Just beginning to setle down when Monday Morning get a call fom Hospital asking me to come in for endoscopy (cancellation).

13.00 hrs come manage to get me that worked up severe anxiety attack that blood pressure goes through the roof. Staff all looking worried. Any how staff pursuade me not to have sedation. get through it results show no ulcers or anything sinister just inflamed stomach lining due to stomach producing to much Acid /Bile.

You would think I would be jumping for Joy however still worried about angina (depite going out for a 10 mile bike ride) awiting next test.

Still get funny chest feelings and jaw pain on and off keep worrying about blood pressure despite BP reading after bike ride being 127/81.

looking for continous reassurance (not good) feeling depressed. Hopefully work are going to send me on a course of CBT.

Why can't I find peace or happiness.

Please reply if you can truly help me, I feel so lost and punish myself for putting my wife and children through this.

Many thanks in anticipation to your replies.

Uppy
