Sorry Kaaayla that you keep tormenting yourself. You are thinking about things that might never happen and if they do you will have plenty of time to worry about it. Please try to enjoy your life without cancer now...without having had a heart attack. Stress causes a lot of symptoms. Believe me I know. In the past I can't tell you the number of times I had doctors to order a stress test to check my heart. I'm better now. I've learn to take deep breaths and change the way I think. Concentrate on what is okay with your life. Walking...talking...think....ability to eat...bed to sleep on....water to drink. Look at nature and enjoy its beauty. Please don't do this to yourself....you are worth better.
Hello
Sometimes and not often people die young as you know , but they are very rare as sad as it is when it happens
When we have HA we fear it will be us
And we feed that fear till one day we realise we are still here and we have spent years worrying and wasting time instead of enjoying our life's
Make a list of all the things you have ever worried about that you have thought was going to kill you
Then next to it put how long you have been worrying , years , months ?
Then ask yourself have they happened ?
Answer is no
So ask yourself well if all that time I have been worrying why would they happen now , what is different ?
Nothing except you have fed your HA so much that is the difference that is what has got worse , not your heart or anything else
So say well all that time I have worried , nothing has happened , I have been checked so many times and given the all clear , am I going to keep feeding this HA or am I going to look at this list that proves I have wasted so many years worrying and nothing has happened and start to believe that nothing is going to change regarding your health
I bet you are one of the most healthiest people posting you need to retrain your brain now to believe this
Keep looking at the facts and push the anxiety away , with practise you can regain control
Take Care
You have been given some great advice. I will only add one thing. Seeing your MD for routine exams is important, especially for people with a family history.
Don't get bogged down with worry. Take good care of your health and have your physicals. You will feel less stress if you have md assurance that you are healthy
