Here we go again....

I have been fine all day and I had a good nights sleep. I had just had dinner this evening when the left side of my ribs started to hurt a bit and then I got a stabbing pain in my left arm and started to panic. Went an got the house phone ready to call an ambulance but stopped myself. Still not feeling good - pinchy pain in arm every now and again and chest area feeling funny too but trying to keep calm. Soooo hard to tell myself it's anxiety your heart is fine. I just can't get it in my head for some reason, anyone else experienced this? Xxx

Just so fed up. I don't know why I can't convince myself I'm ok it's anxiety. I know my body wouldn't give me this much warning and symptoms wouldn't come and go but still I can't tell myself it's anxiety! Arghh how have u been today? Xxx

I no what you are saying , I used to have a thing about my heart , seems to be in the background , my main one is BT now , that was may 1st fear & still is , I get migraines so that doesnt help , I have a sinus infection , which has given me terrible headache & my eyes have been hurting & I keep going dizzy , but I get virtigo , had blood teats & seen someone , but I have spent all weekend thinking the worse , so i no where you are coming from ....so frustrating as the more this goes on & we get worked up , the worse we are going to feel & then convince ourself its something bad !

Yet both of us have had these symptoms for ages , doesnt that say something , like you said we dont get this much warning ....we will get the better of this , need to re train our brains & its not a quick fix as we have spent so long , thinking the way we do ...but we will do it

Love

I couldn't cope with it I rang nhs direct and because of my symptoms wanted to call me an ambulance I managed to pursuant them not to but I'm now at a n e to get checked cxx

I meant pursuade. Home now, another ECG done. They said nothing for urgent concern tonight. Taking my monitor back tomorrow and getting results hopefully. Dr said depending on monitor they may want to do some more minor tests. But he reassured me by saying: people get heart attacks due to blood not getting to the heart properly due to a clot/block. The pain would prolong and get worse it could go away but when it returns it would do the same. Mine lasts seconds but after I just feel awful. He also said that's unheard of in someone my age (22). It's much older and even then blocks usually occur due to lifestyle being bad. I'm now in bed and feeling much better. Still not liking this feeling I'm getting but I know I've just been checked so I must be ok. He said if anything is wrong with my heart at all it will show on this monitor tomorrow! So mind should relax. Hopefully some of this info helps u too! Lots of love xxx
