Panicking about my hospital test
Posted , 9 users are following.
Hi,
I am due to have an ECG exercise stress test this morning, and I am panicking and really dont want to go. I dont have to have aheart problem, its just too much to cope with as well as everything else. I was pretty sure I just had a chest infection, but I did get some back pain and felt a bit winded yesterday when cleaning and hoovering. I dont even know whats normal enymore or not. I just know that I couldnt really cope with bad news. I'd end up paranoid about doing any exercise or aerobic activity or doing anything which might stress me.
I know I'm being stupid. My aunt have had angina for nearly forty years and is 91, so I know people can be Ok with it. I'm just am active sort of person, and I dont want that to have to stop.
I know this isnt directly menopause related, but I have had quite a few health checks in the last year or so, after the menopause set in and I'm fed up with my dr sending me for them!

I know how you feel, im in menopause and that is bad enough, i have to go to the hospital with my son to the cardiologist, he is 21 with svt but they were talking abt possible pacemaker because they recorded a slow heart rate too (the electrical thing in his heart isn't as it should be) I know it isnt me with the problem but i just wanted to let you know you are not alone. I really dont like the idea of him having a pacemaker at 21 but it isnt for me to say. Nowadays they can do alot with the advancement of medical science but of course it doesnt stop us worrying one way or another. I hope all goes well for you x

Im really sorry about your'e son pinkcatfairy, I really hope things go alright for him. My son who is 18 has had problems with being sick nearly every night and is on very high doses of antacids and a restricted diet. He is having more tests done. He isnt losing weight, so they dont think its anything really nasty, but its upsetting for him, and interfering with his A level work.

The next thing I have coming up is probably having a polyp in my cervix removed. I had one removed on the outside of it before Christmas, and they will probably do the other one. Hope this is fairly straightforward - and benign - it should be unless Im very unlucky!
