I was diagnosed with mild LVH almost 2 years ago. Doctor just said to manage anxiety, and I’d be fine.

Fast forward to now. My mom was placed on hospice earlier last week. She did not have a good weekend, and slept 95% of the time. My anxiety is threw the roof to say the least. But today I feel like I’ve had TONS of skipped beats. Is this normal with stress and anxiety? Or do I need to go be seen?! I’m so scared right now.

Hi Megan, I am so sorry to hear about your mom. If I remember correctly she was diagnosed with cancer last year? I lost my mother to lung cancer several years ago. You are under a lot of emotional stress right now & this is going to cause your anxiety to go through the roof. If it will give you some peace of mind, try to see your pcp. I suspect this the stress & anxiety being in overdrive.

Take care.

Hey all. I’m really struggling. My mom ended up passing away on December 31st. I feel like my health/heart anxiety has gotten SO much worse. Yesterday I coughed, and saw stars in my vision for like 5 seconds. Of course I watched the news last night where a 30 year old woman saw flashing lights in her vision, then had a massive heart attack. I’ve been having tons of skipped beats, and what feels like my heart squeezing. I’ve been trying to work out to keep my mind busy. But now this just scares me. What if my heart is trying to tell me something? Now I’m scared to do anything!

Off to the doc. Might be not advisable to push ya ticker with exercise till doc gives ok. My deepest condolences for your loss. Maybe some short term pharmacological help is needed. Healing thoughts I send.
