So i've been feeling like I am getting nowhere with all my issues. It started off a year this month now when I had my first "panic attack". Since then my focus on my heart and it's functioning has grown. So much so that a young teen girl who used to partake in every and any exercise, push herself easily when running and doing sports, who never noticed whenever she was nervous and who loved adrenaline rushes... to someone who is now scared to even exert herself for fear of her heart, who tries to avoid activities that might trigger an adrenaline release or make her nervous. It's really gotten bad.
I have been coping somewhat, I went through a stage of literally checking my pulse non-stop throughout the day. I've moved from that but I still refuse to 'push' myself as it were. I used to love competing my horse show jumping and now when I go in the ring I get the usual nerves accompanied by horrid, pvcs that stop me doing what I love.
Basically, I just wanted to hear some other stories, anybody in a similar situation. I really cannot believe I am still here a year later, all I want to do is enjoy my life. Especially since I am young and supposedly healthy. I keep trying to force through it and feel positive but then I am continually plagued by these PVC's that just won't let me ignore them. I have tried hypnotherapy, anxiety classes but I refuse medication. My cardiologist does not want me to try drugs either and ensures me it will pass in time and i just have an irritation but I don't know how to help myself and stop worrying.
