Hi,
I am new to this forum . I have been suffering for Anxiety for some time now . It is always related to health . It started when I saw my brother in law pass away with a heart attack at 39 . I am 40 so the fear and panic started . I happened to do a BP check during insurance and it was 130/90 and it all started after that . First I used to get dizziness spells and used to think either I have BP , then I started getting chest pains and I thought it was heart disease . I had done all kinds of tests ..
Now about a month I get chest pains on the left side of rib cage . Last week I landed at the ER and I dont know maybe the doc spotted something in my ECG and sent my report to ICU , though she said it is normal she asked me to show a cardiologist with all my earlier reports and that kicked off my panic . Felt like my fears were comming real . Anyway I used to show Sinus Tachycardia 100-115 BPM ... for past one year so this was kind of last straw .
Next day I shoed my reports to two cardiologist who felt they were normal two GPs felt the same they said I was ok , reports were normal . But the fear has stuck and wont go away . I joined the gym yesterday just to do cardiac fitness exercises , but today after 20 minutes on treadmill I felt a bit dizzy and again fear came back . Do I have a problem ? I dont know what to do I am stuck in a web that refuses to let go .
The psycologist feels this is cardiac nurosis , but why do i feel pain ? why did I get dizzy ? why did that junior doc send my report to the ICU ? I dont seem to believe anyone . I am depressed .
I have a lot of dreams and do not like to be sick . I have started using homeopathy since yesterday , last time it had helped me to get out .
I am constatntly on the vigil looking for signs , I surf the web for symptoms and then panic eg this dizziness I had is already causing a bit of panic .
