Hi everyone, ive had a long awaited echocardiogram and had a 24hr tape fitted and i now feel pretty tense. Its a horrid feeling, i feel like my heart is racing and im totally convinced they will find an abnormality and i will have a diagnosis of heart disease.
I spoke with my cbt counsellor today about my constant worry but even after listening to her rationalise things and talk about a worry tree and problem solving tasks, i still feel worried to death. I feel this echo and 24hr tape is the culmination of many many months of worry and i wished id nipped this in the bud months ago as i feel my anxiety would not have escalated to this level. I just want to return to my calmer rational self. This has been a rollercoaster though hellville which i very much want to get off now, as im sure we all do. This is awful.
