    Your not crazy. Your panicking, it will settle when you settle. Control your breathing and concentrate on the fear is just a feeling thing.

    Oh no! You poor thing!

    I've been rushed to the ER 3 times so far! My symptoms were much the same as yours, however my blood pressure was much higher (mine averages 145/95).
    By the time i got through the door i was shaking so much that i couldnt stand and got into a bed within 5 minutes!

    Have they got you on a ECG as yet? I bet your heart is just fine!

    We're not crazy! We just want to live! Maybe we just care about staying alive more than most people, so we worry ourselves to this point?

    Hang in there! Once they confirm your heart is beating fine, and coping with the stress, you might see some relief from your symptoms for a while.

    Our hearts are fantastic and strong! We put them through more stress than most people, but they keep going! And they will for a long time yet.

    Plus, You still owe me the chat that you offered yesterday!

    Oooh, a live ER post!

    I'm guessing you're now in the waiting room, waiting for blood results?

    Likelyhood is, all will be fine and you'll be on your merry way home within the hour... complete with a small needle scratch on your arm & sporting an identification wrist band.

    ER see anxiety sufferers ALL the time... and for very good reason.

    I'm here.
    Immerse yourself in thoughts of your happy place, or focus on nothing but the air flowing in and out of you. Imagine that each breath in is mixing with the yuck inside you, and leaving with each breath out.

    I'll watch for your posts, or feel free to message me.
