Hi Everyone.
My biggest fear, and the cause of most my symptoms is exercise, of any kind even a short walk. I feel nervous a lot anyway but when I know I need to walk anywhere I get really hot and sweaty, my back arm shoulder chest all tense up and I feel sick. My Jaw goes numb, my skin gets prickly and i feel lightheaded. Its hard to believe it's in my head? It's the same when I eat too.
Does anyone else get this? Once I start to move I feel worse and worse I get achy type pain in my left arm, all my chest and head and more scared so I stop and it then takes an hour to recover from all the horrible feelings.
I do have healthy anxiety, centred around heart attack fear, which I think is why.
Does anyone have any tips to get through it? Other than, don't think about it, as it's much easier said than done.
Just to add I've had 6 blood tests, and 3 ecgs, 2 a&e visits in the last 6 months. They say I'm in good health.....should I believe them????? Or are they just fobbing me off because there sick of me?
Thanks
Michelle
