Hello,
So I’ve not posted on here in a long time, although I have browsed regularly.
Just to give a brief bit of background.. I’ve had anxiety and depression for nearly 20 years, medicated for about the last 16 years. I have chronic back issues and often struggle with insomnia, total thyroidectomy in 2007, hearing/ear issues. I’m on pain meds, anxiety meds, thyroxine, wear hearing aids. NO previous heart issues... Over the last couple of years I’ve noticed my mental health has worsened, which is something I’m keeping an eye on and have regular GP visits. Recently I’ve noticed I’m loosing strength in my limbs and are constantly exhausted! And even more recently (about 5/6 weeks) I’ve been getting what I can only describe as a really exaggerated heart beat, but when it happens my fingers and toes tingle, I get dizzy, nausea, ringing in ears etc. The sensation seems to go right through my body, starting at my feet.. After a few moments it passes but then within a few seconds it happens again and so on... So, my thoughts/concerns are is it anxiety, is it it something else?! I have a strong family history of mental health and heart issues. I’m not expecting anyone to be able to tell me what’s going on with me (the GP isn’t even sure so sending me for different tests, including on my heart) Has anyone else experienced anything like this?
