I feel like I am going crazy and I feel like I am going to die.
For the past 18 months or so I've been suffering for what could be anxiety. Some doctors say it is, some say it's not. The ones that say it's not just say chill out.
I've had lots of blood tests and lots of ecg's etc. Been to the ER, paramedics you name it. Nothing for the 9 months though. Got
More tests coming up that I'm paranoid about already.
It's just getting so much worse again though. Im perfectly healthy bar being over weight. But still have good BP etc.
I suffer from a massive heart attack fear. I genuinely believe the doctors have missed something. I have almost constant chest pain. Mainly left breast, sort of like a pinching feeling that comes and goes. I have an almost constant dull ache in my arm that comes and goes also. Mainly in my wrist and lower arm. I also get ALOT of pressure in my head, around my nose. I feel dizzy and sick all the time. I also get random thuds in my chest which goes in to my throat and makes me cough. There pretty rate though.
Exercise is a massive issue for me. I try it almost every day to help with my weight loss. Using static bike cycling. I'm fine, I usually do 10 miles. Stop, then around 10 minutes later I get all my symptoms and then have them for the rest of day, until bed time. I then wake up feeling fresh and great. Exercise triggers all sort of weird feelings for me. I get so hot and so anxious immediately after doing any exercise and even worry at the thought of doing any!
However.....surely if I had anything wrong with my heart I wouldn't be able to do all the biking I do and all the walking I do??
My dad passed away from a heart attack 2 Years ago and since then I experience the same symptoms he did and many more. They just spiral out of control.
Right now I feel like a wreck. Chest tightness, arm pain, sick, but mainly petrified. I'm literally sitting in my bed waiting for 'the end'
I've broken down in the doctors room but they don't seem interested. They just say I'm fine.
But I'm really really not!!
Just to be clear I'm not actually stressed, have a great boyfriend and a great job. I don't get panic attacks either. At least not any more I used to. Now it's just worry and pain. I'm ruining my relationship, I'm scared to do anything in case I just pass out.
I think I just need guidance. Does anyone else have this heart attack fear. After two years of all these same sunrooms I'm pretty sure I'd be dead by now if I had a problem right??
Anyones help would be much appreciated :)
Thank you so much
