Nat it’s all anxiety you are not having heart attack you are going through a very stressful and upsetting time and this is making you feel ill ,I wake up like that every day open all windows cold flannel on face and get to the point of near hysteria when I can’t take deep breaths.,I can’t tell you to relax because I know that’s impossible when we are in this extreme state but know my Lovely friend we are here for you I just wish I could give you a big hug it would be good for both of us but I am always here for you take care and stay safe xx

Hi my lovely friend

Well ambulance has been he hooked me up for at least 40/45 minutes heart rate went down he wasn’t worried at 104bpm he said that’s not dangerously high it’s likely everything that’s happening lately has taken its toll I’m just gonna take deep breaths and try and chill myself out least I’ve been checked over

If you think it's your heart you need to call for help immediately.

Try and calm your breathing down. Slow deep breaths, in through your nose out through your mouth.

Put a cool cloth on you neck. Put some music on, something to distract in the background.

If they spent that much time with you I'm sure they were very confident you were safe.

Distracting is hard but try and find something to do. Keep telling yourself you've been checked and you will be ok.
