After a goodish day...

15 Replies

Bedtime has turned into a fiasco, heart is bouncing all over the place and the pain in my back and chest is awful....I'm trying to not to get the fear(which I'm told makes things worse) but I feel the more I try and not think about it and fear it the more severe the pain is. Here I go again, I'm convinced I'm dying. Aaahhhhhhhhhhhhh!!! :-(

Hi Ashley

You best not be dying , I have emptied my pennies today & sent them to the bank to buy this 1st class ticket for someone that was offering to visit you , dont say I have wasted my time :-/

I no I sound like a broken record & I do no how bad this feels & the fear , & I do no as I suffered the same fear

Try to remember , you had that test done & it was fine

Winter said on here tonight & I said the same on another post , she called it her heart attack story that went on for years , it sounded the same story as mine & what we were both saying was , that looking back , it wasnt possible to be having a heart attack for all the years we thought we were having one , its same with you hun , its not possible

Glad it was a goodish day though :-/

love

Hi you

I feel like a broken record also, constantly moaning about my heart...the palps just seem to be getting worse and worse. Before they were maybe 1-2 a week now I'm getting them every single day. Surely that can't be anxiety...surely when something gets worse its can only be a bad thing? Xxx

My OH is working a night shift and I'm pooping my pants. I hate being on my own and wish I hadn't watched Amityville horror and read about paranormal activity. My cats would be useless and would make friends with any demon who decided to pay me a visit.

I won't be sleeping till she comes home in morning.

I hope you manage to drop off and have a good night Ash.

Hi Cookie.

I can't stay myself either, I'm a big scaredy cat, doesn't help when I feel like I'm about to die lol. My mums in hospital with my sister who isn't well so I really feel extra alone tonight, my dads here but I can't go to him with anything, can't really my mum either but the way I feel now I'd be in beside her lol.

Kudos to you for being able to watch horrors, I also cannot do that lol!!

I can't watch them when I'm alone lol. I watched it 2 days ago and now I am alone, it's coming back to haunt me.

When I was a kid my mum used to let me sit up with her and watch horrors. Then in the early hours I'd come nudging. My dad would get kicked out of bed so I could sleep with mum. Thinking about it now, that's prob why she let me watch them lol. Poor Dad xxx

Hi

I think they are on your mind so much we bring them on

I am not a doctor , but I have known many with heart problems including my Dad & none of them ever had this much warning & when they did have a heart attack these were not the symptoms they had before they did

I no it can be hard to believe , the symptoms I have had & thought no way is this anxiety , but I have had to accept it is

I bet if I took you to the pub now (2 pints mind ) you wouldnt have one palp , yet the moment you were home you would have them again

Reason is your anxiety you would forget while you were enjoying yourself & the moment you were alone it comes & gives you a nudge saying remember me , you need to let it no it isnt your friend & to do one , keep telling it to clear of , I no its hard , but if you practice it will get better

Hi Ashley. My Mother-in-law suffered from this problem and I took her to the hospital so many times and, on occasions she went by ambulance, but it was all down to anxiety. I sometimes wondered if she really believed the doctors !!!! but an Ativan soon calmed her down. When I get anxious in bed, I prop the pillows up and sit up, I don't like lying down , and I do lots of deep breathing which, if you can do it, really calms you down. Thinking about it will only make it worse as we all know. Deep breathing, try it. All the best.
