I went to see the gp in the afternoon, the dizziness had got a lot better, but had been severe in the morning and I wouldn’t of been able to go.
Cardiologist wants to check with an exercise ecg, especially as I have been to A&E with chest pain on quite a few times.
Gp calls for a review every couple of weeks. I know I’ve had a lot of contact. I just can’t get it out of my head that I have heart disease, although gp says unlikely, but I’ve had two abnormal ecgs .
How many ECGs have you actually had this year though? My son's abnormality was picked up straightaway and he was referred for more sophisticated tests and a diagnosis. He didn't keep having ECGs when there was an obvious problem.
A thought is harmless unless we believe it.
Thank you, the dizziness is much better this morning.
The hospital want me to have a stress ecg , but I’m hoping I can have a ct scan instead.
I had normal ecgs at the end of June and then the abnormal ones in August, gp still thinks my heart is fine.
Still have the strange tingling in left hand , especially when i type.
My friend who I speak to everyday and who helps with my anxiety is going away on Thursday for two and a half weeks , so worried that I won’t have her support.
You can't rely on this friend, pb. You need to take some responsibility for your own mental health.
Nothing really seems to be helping you anyway. You may do a lot better once she is not "available".
While CT scans are not invasive, they are not without risk. Plus you're getting a hefty blast of radiation. My policy is - if it's necessary (as it was when I was bleeding internally and my life was at risk) it's a no brainer. However, if it will take a CT scan to convince you (I'm not sure that it will, though) you have to make that choice. It's your body, after all. It's your call to make. I just prefer to make my choices knowing all the facts. I had a heart echo and that was fine, but I was satisfied with that.
Your GP will have seen a lot of people with heart disease. and the fact that he/she isn't concerned should tell you something. As I've said, abnormal ECGs happen. They happened to me, and I don't have heart disease or anything wrong with my heart that hasn't been corrected by sorting my anxiety levels (and HA) out.I had normal ecgs at the end of June and then the abnormal ones in August, gp still thinks my heart is fine.
You type left-handed?Still have the strange tingling in left hand , especially when i type.
So, I've been on both sides of HA as carer/supporter and sufferer. Your mate will have earned this break as supporting someone with HA is emotionally exhausting. This is not to say that she doesn't want to help you - but were are all only human. There will always be someone on here to help talk you down, and if you want to talk one to one - feel free to message me.My friend who I speak to everyday and who helps with my anxiety is going away on Thursday for two and a half weeks , so worried that I won’t have her support.
You will be ok, pb, and once you realise that you coped without her, you will be stronger.
