Whats going with me

[Want_to_live]

Hi all here. First of all i m thankful to you in advance. I try to write as short and dont waste your time.

I m 38 year old male from Pakistan. Five year ago cardiologist did my EPS to reduce my heart beat. Then i became fine. Now it about 4 year i have one problem. My heart is sinking its feels ut is droping and it is going to fail. I feel it is so weak and cannot pump oxygen rich blood. I was smoker now i quit it 3 month ago because now my heart dont tolerate it. Now in these day i m in hospital emergency in after every second day. Here is summer season. But it is not it peak.

Many cardiologist checked me. More than 400 ecg in 5 year. 6 time echo done. 3 time trademill stress test. Blood tests many times. CT angio two times.

Most time i go in hospital emergency due to this hesrt sinking problem. They took ecg and its always almost normal. They said you have anxiety. More thank one cardiologist checked me and said i have anxiety. In 5 years 4 time my ecg became not normal. They admitt me and after some hours they again took my ecg and it became normal.

On trademill or stress test i always unsuccessful because i cannot run. I show it to my cardiologist he said you r fine. I run only 5 mint with 6 mile per hour level. When i walk in park or pick any load or any weight about 3 kg and then do rest. My heart start to sinking. Its like my heart felling difficulty to become its normal place after exercise. I became breathless. I told it many time to doctors but they dont notice it. I spend all my money on doctors tests medicine. I m jobless. No government support i have. Now when i m writting i m on bed.

Heart sinking mean i explain you by an example. If you experienced travelling in aero plane and its start landing from 34000 feel your heart goes down or sinking. My heart start sinking without any reason.

Five year ago cardiologist did my CT Angio and its result was " normal alteries study" but now they did again after five years and its now result is " unobstructive arteries study". I debate about normal and unobstructive, they said it mean same no need to worry. More than one cardiologist said me no need to worry. Normal and unobstructive mean is same. But my mind still dont believe on them. I think my arteries has problem or it has plaque.

I think doctors cannot diagonosied that what problem i have. Or they are waiting for my heart attack. I always feel heavyness on chest. Incomfortable chest. A wave become in my chest and back vein icannot explain it how werid it is. It make me frightened. Other specialist doctors also checked me like stomach plumory etc. All said i have anxiety but i dont believe. I satisified with my life. My only worry is my heart.

Doctors said you think about heart so it sinking but i told them more than 200 times that when i have no worry i was not thinking about heart i was in happy mood it began sinking. My main problem is heart dont bear stress or walk or exercise.

I request all of you please tell me and suggessed me what i do. How doctors will believe me. Is there any resourse i can consult with any british or europeon or smerican doctors free. I mean without fee.

I believe they are well qualified as compare to our doctors. My life is ruined. No happyness in my life. I cannot stand. If i stand my heart start sinking.

I'm so sorry that you feel so bad, but it does sound as if you have acute anxiety. I've had similar feelings, for example a swooping feeling in my chest, as if I'm going down very fast in a lift, which is really horrible, but I think it's due to an adrenaline rush.

You say you are satisfied with your life and that your only worry is your heart, but that worry is a huge one that is spoiling your life. Often anxiety does affect you when you are feeling all right, and takes you by surprise; you wonder why you feel so bad at a time when you thought you weren't feeling worried about much.

Normal arteries and unobstructive arteries does sound the same, as if you have no plaque to worry about, and cardiologists wouldn't tell you you were all right if they didn't think you were.

Another thing about anxiety is that you can feel as if you can't breathe, and you have to keep taking deep breaths because you feel that if you don't you will suffocate, but you won't. You feel as if there is a weight on your chest that's crushing you.

As you have had so many tests and reassurances from doctors, it does seem as if you might be very, very anxious and would benefit with help from a therapist.

I really hope your situation will improve because I do know how horrible bad anxiety is.

You will be fine. You just seem to have anxiety which some of us have. Ask your doctor for anti anxieties solutions. Good you stopped smoking! Take care.
