[Cimmy]

I feel so lost and alone after my last post about my results showing my heart is bigger than it should be I have been in a blind panic and have convinced myself that I can’t breath and I’m having palpitations, is it my anxiety or is it real symptoms of my heart. I’ve been to not to worry but I am and I do and I just can’t help it for gods sake give me a break. I just want some peace, sorry about the rambling I just can’t relax thanks for reading

Hi Cimmy, when we have health anxiety to begin with and are given a

new diagnosis to contend with, it's very easy for our mind to go into overdrive.

Not necessarily coming from the issue but from Anxiety itself.

Enlarged heart is not always permanent. It can be a temporary situation due to

stress. It's the reason your doctor doesn't seem concerned at this time but wants

to see you in another 6months or year.

If need be set up another appointment to be reassured and ask questions.

Doctors mean well by being open to the patient but it's not always in the best

interest of the patients peace of mind especially having anxiety. My best xx

hello it’s nice to meet you I have panic attacks a lot too and I worry about litterly everything no matter what it is I know how it feels it’s awful because you have no control of it what helps me is breathing in and out and visualizing something happy and calm and also I am terribly lonely a lot so I try make time with my family and friends to get my mind on something else just remember that you are not alone there is no cure but if you find something that you enjoy it may help you feel happy and healthier if you need a friend or just someone to talk talk to I am here for you message me anytime

Ramble away, my friend. No need to apologize. I hope the panic has passed since you last posted. I wish you well.

Trust your doctor, if you have access to a helpline Nurse or your Dr get additional reassurance but then leave it at that. Anxiety will make you think and believe all sorts of things that arent true. Right in this moment youre fine

hi all, and thank you for all your comforting and kind replies, I’m so glad I joined this forum, I feel less alone and find great comfort in your kind replies. I have phoned the doctors and asked for appointment to speak to the doctor. They could only offer me the 6th March, which isn’t good enough, I need some answers and some clarity, so I’m going to ring at 8am on Monday morning and get an emergency appointment. I will keep you all updated. Your support means a lot and I’m so grateful for you time and very informative and kind input. Take care everyone
