Why did I do that?!

I've just broke the golden rule and googled about my heart! Now I've managed to convice myself that my ecg test a while back was wrong and I have a heart problem!

Why did I go on google?! ????

Upset myself now!!

ah no luv dont google thats the worse thing i am suffering just like you had ecg bloods hospital twice and still convinced with these pains in my chest are you taking meds i am having a monitor fitted in 2 weeks so hoping that will ease my mind if you want to chat i will understand xxx

Aw thanks, yes I'm taking meds propranolol, been on them a few months but being weaned off. I had a monitor fitted last summer after an alergic reaction which sent my heart rate up. I also had bloods done the same time to check for damage. All clear!

I've had 2 ecgs and numerous blood tests done since then which have also been clear. I've been checked out by at least 4/5 different drs both at the gp surgery and hospital a&e, so I don't understand why I'm feeling this way and not believing!

And my other problem is constantly checking my pulse, I do it all the time! Wish I could stop!

Can't believe I've been goggling though, I really should know better

Glad I'm not alone with this

Aw glad it ain't just me! Sorry about my last comment don't know why it's there 4 times ??

My chest is tight like the only way I can describe it is like if someone is standing behind me and pulling my skin to the sides!

Horrible feeling! My heart skips beats and then sometimes I get a Big Bang that makes me feel faint. Yeah we can go mad together ?? or just support each other through the hard times! Just hard to convince yourself there's nothing actually phycially wrong and it's a mind thing!

Hope your ok x

Honey your fine as you had tests for your heart and result came back clear. If it would help you if I tell you I got few murmur on my hearts its like missing beats or jump but don't bother me because I know its totally normal as heart work hard to pump all the blood around in the body. Usual if heart got problem it won't give you a warning at all, my dad is a heavy smoker and he died suddenly because his cortary artery had blocked and he never knew so you've nothing to worry about. Heart problem usual happened to people who smoker very heavy which lead to a heart attack. Please believe your doctors as they are very very qualified and they won't lie to you. Its all in your head which is anxiety xxx

[Minnie12]

I do get heart skip beats or bang but don't bother me because its normal as its because your heart pump hard to supply more blood around the body or work harder which is good. You get pain cos your stressed, worried and anxiety cause you pain in chest make you think its heart but its not xx

Thank you Minnie, that is very helpful! I feel better now, just got to stop going on the net to look at symptoms!

Hate the feeling of skipped beats they kind of take your breath away sometimes, and hard to believe anxiety is causing them xx

[Minnie12 in reply to Hidden]

Ur welcome. Keep away from goggling please love as it won't help you as they made you feel worse then you become more distressing then you start release lots of aderaline in your body which give you chest pains or anywhere.... I do get werid heart murmur and make me try to catch breathe but only last few secs which is normal...,, if ur heart got a problem you will have numb in arm, can't feel it and in really pain with heart like can't move but your 100% fine!! Keep away from google as you want to cure your anxiety so do it x x x

You had a little slip thats all with the Googling , i no what its like , i have banned myself , yet many a time I see myself about to look , its not as easy as said is it , but good for you getting on here & saying , instead of suffering ...so hopefully you wont be as tempted again

But honest your heart is fine , like someone said to someone else on here today , if they thought for one minute there was something wrong with you they would have you in before your feet could touch the floor .....or it would be more than there job was worth ...& they havnt , they have said you are ok

I get it also ,& the more I focus on it the more I feel it , when I ignore it , goes away

Love

Whywhy is right and if there were problem in your heart they are NOT allow to send you home because your at high risk and your life is in danger but they let you go because they know your heart is normal and healthy! Believe me skip or miss heart best is normal cos heart try to catch fast blood in one go then pump very hard to release them quickly either working hard. Do not worry please x x

[Minnie12]

Other reassure for you, my husband had this too many of times and he did had pain in heart and he saw a neighbour as she is a heart doctor, checked his heart with beat timer and said his heart is very good, beat slowly and said it was the muscles in chest that caused pain that's why he thought it was heart cos its underneath near the lungs. He also had heart skip or missing beat but know its normal even me. Xx

Hello I know the feeling!! My missed beats started 3 years ago when I was 19. I had an ecg and an echo and was told everything was healthy but I still had no explanation as to what was actually going on. After a year of hell I was told they are missed beats and they just happen - totally benign. even with this news I found it hard to accept its ok. When I was at the airport last year I had a missed beat, ignored it and then 30 seconds later another one, this carried on for half an hour - I was terrified as I only ever get one or two a day not every minute for half an hour. It soon passed and I didn't have another one for 2 weeks. In december I started get chest pain and arm pain and feeling like im dying. Since that, it has made me more worried about my ectopics again. I saw a cardiologist on thursday who said everything is fine, and I now have a heart monitor attached until tuesday next week. I press a button when I feel something funny happen - I pressed it 10 mins ago because of an ectopic. Sometimes theyre really small ones and sometimes they are so strong I feel like Ive been winded. I find it hard to accept as anxiety because Im not an anxious person, I dont suffer from all the other symptoms. My boyfriend has anxiety and in big crowds of people he starts to feel funny and anxious and just has to get out. I never get anything like that I just get chest symptoms for no reason. It's terrifying but hopefully this heart monitor will put my mind at rest! youll be fine honesty xxxx

Thank you everyone for your kind words and replys. I feel better already, I've already had a monitor fitted after my alergic reaction last summer and nothing was unusual on it. I'm having another fitted soon just to ease my mind. These happen even when I don't feel anxious, but my dr says I could have things on my mind I'm not even really thinking about which are causing me to feel anxious and causing the skipped beats.

Maria I get them like you, sometimes one or two a day, sometimes nothing at all, sometimes loads in the space of a few hours.

I try to forget them and the worst mistake was definatly GOOGLE lol

Thanks everyone
