Hi all am over the moon had echocardiogram today all clear, its been months of hell to be honest, severe health anxiety. Nurse who tested me today had suffered panic attacks and actually listened to my story ,meant to be this chance encounter today I beleive and my prayers have been answered. Her advice look after yourselves with good breathing and relax therapy regularly ,don't let the panic control you, and it will disappear.

Recommends rescue remedy .

My daughter is just about the have her first baby our first grandchild so imagine my angst worrying about all that on top of my anxiety no wonder I had been to a and e etc. She's in USA, I honestly thought I may not see our baby.

Thanks for all the support on here, truly its great. Thanks again .

    It's nice to have that reassurance isn't it debi?

    You will be able to enjoy your grandchild.

    I felt the same in the middle of last year, that my end was almost here, ended up in A and E and had heart checked out etc. And it is good to know everything is fine even though it doesn't feel like it.

      Hi debi,

      I was still a bit disbelieving that everything was OK for a few weeks, because I didn't feel right at all. I had to take things easy for about 6 weeks altogether. A week before I went into A and E then several weeks after.

      It's the worst I have felt and was almost 2 years post meno.

      I was surprised they found everything to be fine because I felt very far from it.

      With it all came a noticeable weakness, I had to lift shopping bags with both hands and that strength that went hasn't come back fully yet 6 months later. It is though a lot better than it was.
