Heart attack symptoms

hi Christina ,i know that what i will say wont help you much but your not alone love ,there is many many of us just like you struglinng and just coping day after day its just so sad i just wonder if anyone ever won that battle, warm hugs

Christina...your story sounded so much like my own. I was diagnosed with anxiety and panic attacks over 20 years ago now. I am still struggling. I can tell you there are things out there that do help and can help. I don't know if you have health insurance or the ability to seek medical care but if so please do. Use every resource at your fingertips. You need to see a psychiatrist AND a psychologist. For meds and therapy it is the best route. Having the medics tell you that you were in Afib is a very scary thing, please make sure you follow up on that. It can be caused by many many things and it can happen once or you can end up stuck in it like my ex. I suspect that your drinking is probably causing a lot of your symptoms and you should definitely try to stop drinking as much as possible. Drinking can cause heartburn, which in turn can cause chest and stomach pains, so it might be from the alcohol even if it was consumed the night before. 2 weeks is awesome!!! I know exactly what you mean with living in the er, I don't want to live there but sometimes the physical symptoms are so strong my brain quits listening to me and takes me there anyway, lol. If I can suggest a few things, keep a journal. Write down every single thing you think may matter somewhere down the road, you can look back on it at doctors appointments to help you remember talk about things you might otherwise forget. You can use it as therapy to get angry and yell at your anxiety but writing it down and telling it where to go. You can also use it to remind yourself that you have been there before and felt those exact same things and you were okay then and you will be okay this time. Sounds stupid but it really does help me. Try anything and everything you are able to try, what works for one might not work for the other so you never know what might help you. Things like meditation, yoga, using herbs and oils, or grounding techniques, adult coloring books, massage, accupunture, and anything else that isn't going to hurt to try even if it does nothing for you. I also suggest talking to your doctors about using medications if you need them, do not be scared, like I said before everyone is different and what works for one may not work for you. But it might also be exactly what you need to get some relief. I know that I felt the best I ever felt and went 2 years without seeing the inside of a hospital when I was on a combination of medications and in therapy. And the last thing I will say to you is do NOT give up...I've got 20 years on you and I'm still here fighting. There are days where I want to give up but there are so many good things in life you will miss out on if you stop fighting. You never know when you will find that one thing that works and gets this all under control for you. If you ever need to talk or want to ask questions feel free to send me a message here. Best of luck!!!
