Hi all,
I havnt posted much lately or been online much as ive had a pretty tough time the last week or so [xx(]
The anxiety managment course is going well and am enjoying going (soz i havnt updated my post for the last 2 sessions, but have been struggling this last week).
Ive felt quite weird this last week in particular, ive had a lot of chest pains and my heart rate is really high, it does get faster when im out and anxious, but even now when im sitting doing noting i can feel it is beating really hard and im getting pains with it too. Its also happend that ill be sitting and all of a sudden my focus will go and i feel as if i will pass out.
Saw my doc today about it - he took my pulse (which he said was 120) and my blood presusre (fine) and listend to my chest and took my peak flow. My chest, peak flow and blood pressure are all fine, but he's said my heart rate is higher than the retsing rate ie its what it is after someone has excerised - even when i just go up stairs it pounds as if ive done an hour work out, and even now it is beating so hard...
anyway, i have got to have a blood test whichive booked in for monday, to test my thyroid and then i also have to have an ECG - not too worried about the EGC , its more being in a hospital which im scared about. Im having my ECG next wednesday - i know its a week away but am worried in case im leaving it too long and should go before? My doc has said i could have Tachycardia, but that it could also be anxiety..
Any input would be great...
