Did you all MIND?? X

[Kaaayla in reply to Hidden]

Huh? Xx

[Hidden in reply to Kaaayla]

I told you before to contact your local MIND charity. They help where the NHS doesn’t. You will be waiting for CBT for over 18 months, MIND can help Immediately. X

[Kaaayla in reply to Hidden]

Yh mind said you can’t have cbt and there help both at same time!x I dunno what’s best for me counselling or CBT. X

[Hidden in reply to Kaaayla]

Well worth trying counselling whilst you wait. That’s what I did. X

[Kaaayla in reply to Hidden]

Yeh I had numbers given to me but tried ringing no answer earlier!

[Hidden]

Don't ever feel like you're crying wolf. There is probably something going on more than the doctors are looking into. Have you tried a different health facility with other doctors? Wish you all the best.

[Kaaayla in reply to Hidden]

Something more like what?? Do you think I’m going to die? I been hospital in past n when I do ring doctor it’s just a phone consultation

[Hidden in reply to Kaaayla]

No I don't think youre going to die. I don't know what all you have tried as far as meds or what kind of diagnosis you've had. I take a propranolol we every day and that usually controls the heart rate. I haven't read any of your other post (if you have any others), but wondered what's meds you are taking. Didn't want to ask what you're taking in case you didn't want to disclose the info. I think you will be fine. I may not know you personally but I do care you are having these issues.

[Kaaayla in reply to Hidden]

I’m on sertraline and take diazepam when needed really! I have serve panic attacks and anxiety. Scared to even go outside incase I have one it’s awful .. Thankyou for caring I care to! X

Trust me I have HA so I do know what it feels like

You have an advantage over me well two that comes to mind one you are young so your chances of anything serious are so much less and two you dare go and get tested which I am to afraid to do

That heart of yours they have tested it so many times one way or another other than fetching it out ( not a good idea ) they really have tried to show you that it is perfectly fine but your mind has become obsessed and I get that but I also get that if you do not change this it is never going to go away and that makes me feel sad as I know the misery that you will put yourself through then get to my age and look back and see the life you should have had has passed you by and have regrets

Maybe you need to ask the Doctor to be assessed by your local Mental Health team and no they will not put you in hospital but look at the right care that you need

Meanwhile instead of going on Google and looking up about hearts , try looking up about How to control Health Anxiety or what is health anxiety things like that , you will see so much of yourself when you read up about it and possibly be able to take some on board

What would you like the Doctors to do more than they have done already and what will make you believe your heart is fine after all the tests you have had done ?

These are a good couple of questions to ask yourself , I often ask myself these to

Take Care x

Also do you just do phone consultations?

[kalif]

I have health anxiety and it has ruined my life..you are young and have a chance to change things..Have a look at The Linden method this has helped me so much,there is everything you need to know..also look at Claire Weeks.your mind is now on over drive the linden method will help you to see clearly..good luck..

[Kaaayla in reply to kalif]

Do you have to pay for the the linden method ? Also Yh I have a book of Claire weeks I might look at some of her videos I know really don’t want it to ruin my life. I just have to keep thinking to myself if something was seriously wrong I would have been dead or something by now. It’s just soon as that set of panic sets in your body has awful symptoms and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy it’s so horrible 😭

[kalif]

You do have to pay ,but you get loads,books CDs.you can phone them and they guide you through.charles linden is lovely..you are so young don’t end up like me,anxiety as been with me most of my life,I have had times where I have better times ,but it comes back ,I had the linden method last year it’s been worth it’s weigh in gold.when you download it you have him talking to you ,you can see him ,has you know with anxiety you can’t read or concentrate and nothing sinks in. Give it a try,look it up you will get a few freebies or give them a call..where are you from..x

[Kaaayla in reply to kalif]

Okay how much is it? I’ll look into it if it really does work n help! I’ll do anything to feel ok again , I’m from England what about yourself?

[kalif in reply to Kaaayla]

I’m in the midlands. The linden method is based in Kidderminster. Do look it up. He is offering half price at the moment. He has been through the dreadful anxiety. Take care x

Hi

Not sure if I have replied to you before.

Things that have helped me over the years

1 Claire weekes book and you tube

2 DARE response book by Barry mcdough

3 The anxiety guy pod casts on you tube ( probably my favourite)

4 cbt with a good counsellor ( I self referred from a leaflet I found in a+e )

Knowing that if I had felt this bad for so long and nothing serious had happened the doctors must be right ( this is/was one of the hardest things to accept)

Take care be kind to yourself

Have you tried Magnesium supplements before? I think you will benefit from this mineral... Helps anxiety and heart palps...

[Kaaayla in reply to Jamesgolfer1]

No I haven’t where could I get these from? X

[Jamesgolfer1]

To on amazon you can get them there but make sure you get the correct one of your get stomach upset! Get the one called Magenhance which contains the 3 good forms of magnesium, never by magnesium oxide which is cheap and no good. Take a couple of tablets am and pm, it's really helped me! I think all your stress you've had for years has maybe depleted your levels!!

[Jimmyluke55]

Ye know the feeling love think doctors get fed up of me love xx

[GJRWS]

Its awful isn't it...? I'm at the stage where the doctor keeps sending me for tests of various kinds and I get myself into such a state...convinced he is going to ring with bad news again ( its happened a couple of times). The other day the only thing I could do when I woke up in a state was turn my phones off, drag the dog from her bed, climb the hill behind my house and walk very quickly all morning in the pouring rain.( no time even for sniffing) just to try to prove to myself there is nothing wrong. It calmed me down but I still don't believe myself!!! Sorry no help but lots of empathy.

[Kaaayla in reply to GJRWS]

I know it’s awful I keep having weird heart beats like keeps stopping then thudding then my whole body goes like a hot rush and pins n needles! X

[GJRWS in reply to Kaaayla]

Yep, I dont have heart worries...yet......but ..cancer worries...any kind will do!!!! But at the moment I can definitely relate to the hot flashes/, rushes /whole body sweating, pins and needles and bits of me going numb. I haven't a temperature, my doctor says it is certainly not the menopause...so I just worry about what it is !!!!

[Kaaayla in reply to GJRWS]

Yeh I definitely have cancer worries because my dad died of cancer now my mum has cancer!!! 😢
