I don't know if you guys remember my previous posts about having swelling in my belly and then about the chest pain and breathless and what followed after that last week well, I decided to email my specialist heart nurse and to my surprise actually got a call from them about 2 hours later. I explained how I had been feeling and she asked if I had been feeling like this at the gym and I said I hadn't and when I said that they weren't concerned at all which is a major relief and when I said my stomach has been hard and bloated but not tender to touch anymore they weren't worried about that either. They did say to bear with them and they would call me back I wasnt expecting them to be honest and then an hour later I got a call back which I'm not even sure was from them because I was video calling my sister πŸ™„πŸ€£. Anyway I'm thinking if it was anything they would of tried more then once to contact me and if they don't they obviously don't think it's anything to be concerned about. Only trouble is I don't know why this keeps happening to me it's obviously nothing but still worries me it's the not knowing.Hope this post wasn't too confusing sorry if it is πŸ™ƒπŸ™ˆ

I took your advice and phoned back and it was scam caller from sure cover πŸ˜†πŸ˜‚πŸ™„ I knew they wouldn't call me back. I'm thinking that maybe they are waiting to call me back tomorrow because my consultant works part time now only wedensday and Thursday in the clinic they pass over to him and then they get back to me after maybe I guess I should be happy they didn't ring me back it means it's nothing lol x

Hello :-)

Bless you that must have took so much courage to phone the number if you do not like phone calls to find it was a scam ! grrrr

Never mind though at least you know it was not them and I am sure they will get back to you even though you are not keen till they do keep answering your phone when it rings because you want to know what they have to say :-)

Let us know when they reply will be thinking about you :-) x

I just got a call back and they aren't concerned that it's my heart which is a major relief and they think it's asthma related so I will get that checked out even though my asthma is well controlled πŸ™„. They did say that if it gets any worse or I start getting it with any exercise tjej to call them. x really think it's anxiety causing this πŸ’”πŸ˜’

in reply to Yumz199725

Hello :-)

Yeah true. I am going to gp about anxiety. I wish it was as simple as not being worried because St barts isn't x

in reply to Yumz199725

Hello :-)

I know it is not easy and I really do feel for you having anxiety myself since a child throw health issues in and well no one knows unless they have been there

But when I was young anxiety was something you could not talk about or if you did you would be told you were been silly and even started to believe you were whereas now you can talk about it and you can get the help you need so get it while you are still young because I would hate anyone to end up like me where I have been left that long I have even been told it has become a part of me and as they say it is now very complex

You don't want that so make that appointment :-) x

Aw don't worry I won't leave it any longer it's affecting me too much its making me obsess about my health when there's no need to I'm stable at the moment, wish that was enough to reassure me that I'm fine x sorry its just had to become a part of you πŸ’” having anxiety and health issues isn't fun.
