Occupational health and anxiety

Hello lovelies, I'm still ticking on here, still off work as I don't see the cardio until December 21 off to an occupational health dr for work later, I cope with the heart jumping about but the anxiety , has been horrible, broken nights sleep, gastric upsets not being able to eat much.

I go out for a walk every day and follow the mantra it's not going to kill me, I do try todo mindfulness . I feel like people feel I would be OK to carry on and no one except me and Bob know what a scarey time it was for me before my first ablation.

I know I got better from it all last time and have made marvelous progress in so many parts of my life but I still feel anxious about what's going to happen next . I am on high doses of arythmol so a change of meds or an ablation is prob the way forward . I have a lovely job I can't do at present I am bored at home and fed up of sitting knitting but don't have a great deal of energy

Please give me some words of wisdom xxxloads of love xxx

So sorry you are suffering sweetheart. I do understand exactly what you mean and as I said to somebody recently I am more worried about AF coming back than my cancer! Bummer isn't it. We had a good nine years free though didn't we and that enabled you to make some positive changes in your life so hang in there . Call me if you need to shout and scweem.

Love.

Twinny.

very positive time with the dr, just have to be patient and wait to see what cardio says and then hopefully back to work at least part time I hope

Can't say anything else but keep your chin up and think of this time as a chance to rest and relax as much as you can
