hello everyone
ive suffered with my chest for years been to the doctors so many times etc and was in hospital 3 weeks ago with a heart rate of 150..ive always been scared of my heart and lungs..im so scared anout having a cardic arrest,heart attack,asthma literally everything and its stopping me doing everything and anything because i think something is going to happen 😔 xxxx
Sending positive healthy thoughts your way!! Be strong
ive never been so scared 😔
What information were you given regarding your heart rate?
what do you mean?
You went into the hospital with a high heart rate? What was the outcome? Did you get medicine? What was their advice to you?
im waiting for a letter to see someone..ive had it in the past,they gave me two tablets
Ok and you are better now?I would call your md with any changes. Like if it happens again don't hesitate to call.
I hope you get your letter soon.
Hi Shannon97, If you were in a dangerous arrhythmia in the ER, they would not have sent you home. I have a feeling what they gave you were 2 Benzos (antianxiety med)
Definitely follow through with the referral so they can address the issue and relieve
your fears. Let us know after you've been seen. Good Luck with your appointment 
xx
I’m sorry to hear that. My mom experienced that before and an angiogram will tell you everything. Best of luck 🙏
what is that sorry 😔 literally so fed up of being so scared xxxx
Your Cardiologist will order an angiogram which is a diagnostic test that uses x-rays to take pictures of your blood vessels. It’s the best way to find out if you have blood clot, heart block...
Well what is your heart rate now? Do you know how to check it or have a machine.Tell them you haven't got your letter yet. What do they advise
Are you in the US ?
There are some great books out about reversing heart disease. I've read three or four of them. Exercise and a healthy diet can reverse even heart failure. Study up on your condition so you can be your own advocate is my advice. Google reversing heart disease.
do you no where i can get them? as ive said in my post that is what im scared of 😔 xxcc
You have to get aggressive to find out what is going on. They usually give you a print out when you leave the ER. You need to know WHAT they found and WHY and what to do about it. Did they refer you to a Cardiologist?Information can be your best weapon against fear.
Shannon you are in the right hands with your doctors! You’ll be okay. Run up some steps to reassure yourself your not having a heart attack or anything. If you were running up steps wouldn’t be possible .
i wish i could thinl like that 😔 i literally dont no how to think anymore 😔 xxxx
It's a very scary feeling to have your heart racing so quickly, but you are NOT having a heart attack or heart block or cardiac arrest and you don't have a blood clot. You have some kind of tachycardic arrhythmia (a rapid rhythm). You and your doctors will get to the bottom of this. I have a good friend who had the same thing and also works in health care. Keep a notebook and when you have these episodes, write down the date and time and what you were doing when it happened. That will be helpful to the doctor. Bring someone with you to the doctor so there's a second set of ears, and write down a list of questions in advance. Hugs from a U.S. nurse.
