I've had Panic and Anxiety for years, but I've convinced myself there is something wrong with my heart . People have said if he thought there was something wrong he would have sent me straight to hospital?? And that my symptoms would be a lot more serious if there was a problem and I would have known by now. I had an ECG and bloods done in September, they all came back fine, but my heart was going really fast but there was no abnormalties, so my doctor referd me too see a cardiologist to put my mind at rest. And ever since I have been an absolute mess. :'( I've become obsessed with it, listening to my pulse waiting for something to go wrong. I'm also convinced it isn't beating properly, which I know is absolutely ridiculous. My heart only flutters when seem stressed, have'nt eaten or slept properly. I've had a lot happen, my grandfather passed away a year ago and it happened really quickly, work has been super stressful too, most of my attacks happen in work. I do think watching my grandfather dying has definitely hit me very hard. Please help!! :'(

      Thank you so much for your reply. So sorry for your loss too. sad

      I can relate 100%, I loved exercising but now I'm afraid just incase that happens even though I know deep down its not - its hard to explain. I am doing some meditation for 30mins everyday so hopefully that will help. It's so nice to talk too people who understand. Thank you and god bless. X

      They can't convince you that nothing is wrong so you need to convince your self. Go for a few good fast walks taking a friend with you for assurance, give the house a thorough clean moving furniture. When you don't pass out you might start to be convinced.
