Dizziness - Heart Palpitations - Panic attack?
Posted , 9 users are following.
So Tuesday I had been feeling a bit dizzy. Come tuesday evening my heart begin to race and I needed to get out (I was having a meal at the time). The feeling was very intense, terryfying. It took me about 30 minutes to calm down.
The next day the diziness was still there, and then after doing some weights, the heart began racing again and panic set in.
I went to the hopsital, and all tests came back clear. ECG fine, Chest Xray fine, and bloods all fine. They sent me home wihtout explanation.
Today I thought I was doing okay (diziness still present but not as strong). Symtoms came rushing back when I was shopping to the point I just wanted to run.
All of a suddent this has effected my life - I feel like I can't do anything.
Up till this point I was very happy. Now I'm deeply concerned. It feels as though I'm always seconds away from a heart attack.
People have suggested panic attacks? Or anxiety... I really don't know, and I'm at a loss.
Has anyone had a similar experience?

It does sound like panic attacks and anxiety.
If the ECG was fine then trust in that.
You are young and it would be unusual to have a heart attack.
Maybe a trip to the GP would help you.
Let me know how you do.

I'm off to the doctor first thing in the morning.
It's crippling me at the moment. I'm self employed so can't work when I'm like this.

The diziness has lasted for three days which is what concerns me. And it's also peaking with excercise.
I'll have to see what my GP says. But it is sounding more and more like Anxiety and Panic attacks.

I work for myself, as a creative freelancer. It has it's stresses, but generally I think I'm laid back which is why this is strange.
It's awful. Really bad.
I sleep okay, but I do suffer from sleep paralysis and OHS from time to time.
Do you find Beta-Blockers work?

I thought this myself (and hoped as that's easilt treatable). But had blood tests yesterday and nothing came up. The doctors can't find anything with the test they have done.

Have you had or felt anything in your life recently that could be playing on your mind?

The viruses that I am talking about are usually not serious unless you are Diabetic and even then not necessarily so, and there is no stipulated treatment for them.
My wife is a teacher and every day she comes home with reports of yet another virus and more children having to rest at home.
In the case of a working adult a virus can play havoc, as it is difficult to concetrate on ones work, and this in iteslf can cause anxiety problems if it interferes with ones work load.
I would suggest that if your symptoms get much worse, or if it does not clear-up on it's own accord in 5 to 7 days a return trip to your doctor could well be a good idea.

I'm seeing the doctor first thing in the morning. Hopefully she will be able to check for any viruses?

Not really. Im actually in a very good point of my life. I've moved into a lovely apartment, I'm seeing someone I care for very much and I'm working on some very interesting projects.
The only thing I am concerend about really is these symptoms I'm having. I've had trauma in the past... But a few years back and I wouldn't say that it's been keeping me awake at night or anything like that.
I'm just really confused as they have come out of the blue

You are doing the right thing by referring yourself to your doctor, as he/she will have your medical history and maybe be aware if there any other associated matters that need attention.
Your doctor will not actually be able to check if you have a virus, but he/she will know if there is a probabilty that you are suffering with one or from something else.
Good luck
