Hi my first ever anxiety / panic attack was when I was around 14 years old I tried some ******** with my friends worst experience of my life...And from that night I never tried it again nor any other type drug.So anyway im 25 now I had first found I was pregnant in 2007 (I was still young) I was little nerves but I actually was fine through my pregnancy maybe I was still so young I just didnt worry...I didn't think bad things I didnt worry really.I remember having 2-3 panic attacks when my little boy was young and I always went straight to ane but nothing was every wrong they knew how to calm me down well more so as soon as I was always in the cab going to ane I just would calm down very quickly.So iv been on off smoker of cigarettes more so for social reasons but back february 2012 I started smoking daily again for no reason then in march 2012 I was outside having a fag when I suddenly felt this pain in my left side of my chest I froze it didnt last long so I sort of forgot about
it.Then I started getting them for the next few days what ever I was doing.I completely freaked out and went to hospital ended up going to hospital around 6 times in few months(of course I thought heart attack) they keep doing ecgs and blood test saying all was fine its more then likely a muscular problem I just had to not be worried other wise it would continue to happen it was my mind.I started to become worried now the fact the every time I was in hosptial my hart rate was alway over 110 bpm. Once or twice I was giving a tablet to help me relax that I wasnt happy about
but it needed doing because I felt like I was going to pass out.I started my new job thankfully in april oh and stopped smoking of course major frea I was going to have a heart attack of course. But so my job I was so nerves about
because im such a nerves person hate arguing dont do conflict cause my nerves are bad and my heart rate gos so fast.So its now september 2014 I have had anixety nearlly every day for two years and it has really come to me in different forms.From tightness in my chest and throat for around a week straight so I thought there was something wrong with my lungs.Still having chest pains.No I started getting this skip beat feeling where id be doing nothing and my heart would thud-er againt my chest so hard felt like it was going to stop.Id get it more so when I wasnt doing anything just laying down or relaxing it would make me jump off the sofa or bed in fear.Then in may because my engagement to my wonderful partner of 7 years I suddenly my heart just pounded againt my chest in a triple rapid force I jumped off the sofa I called my docter he made me do my pulse rate it was going so fast he told me to come and see him straight away.Still 30 mins later my heart woundlnt slow down.He ened up calling cardi0 team at my local hospital then sent an ambulance straight away. I eneded up being keep in because my heart rate wouldn't slow down.Like I said im such a nerves person that im really scared and worried now that I just cant relax.So no wounder my heart cant slow down.Even through my sleep in hospital I keep waking up n looking at my monitor just pray my hr would go down.So cardio came round early in the morning had my sent for ecg blood test and an eco scan still my heart was fine there wasnt any thng wrong ..They gave my a beater-blocker to slow it down they said I have tachycardia I was scared but they told me there is nothing to worry about
(easy said then down) and I was finally sent home later that evening but had to wear a heart moniter for 24 hours so I went home really took it easy and relaxed with my beautful son.The next day I took it back they said if they see any thing worrying they would contact me ...No one got back to em and I eneded up being given more beater-blockers in proscript
ion. But I was still getting palpitations and my rapid heart beat. I have spoke to so many people that are experiencing the same as me but it still doesnt make me better.
im a very up beat person I dont suffer from depression but this is slowing making me drained and sad constantly thinking my going to die I have beautiful family.Im just found out im pregnant only 7wweks but all of sudden my chest pains have gone and it all about
palpitations especially at nighttttt.Im some times laying there till 4am hearing the beating in my ears feeling it in my throat I keep moving but cant slow it down it gets so fast I feel hot my body is blotchy. Im going to work tired feeling less motivated but just thinkinh and focusing on my heart beating I hate it.I cant seem to slow it down sometimes so hard.Im scared of now giving birth cause my heart rate.Iv had to come off my beater-blockers not they were actually doing my any justice.I wont doing certain activates in cause my heart rate gos fast.Im suffering in side but still put smile on my face.Im breaving in to paper bag now and smelling oils anything to stop focusing on this.I go doctors for anything im panicking for no reason my arms go numb my leg is moving luckly I stopped biting my nails few years ago otherwise id have none.I know im putting my anxiety on my son whos 6 now. Makes me sad cause I dont ever talk about
my condition around him nor does he see me worry but im very over protected with him wont let him do to me in case he hurts hes self cant have him hurting his self I cant deal with the upset or fear.I could keep going on but I need to talking to someone now to help me feel better and make this pregnancy happy and joyful .I think I have health anxiety and my tachycardia I cant even hear that someone has an illness cause I worry I just cant help what if that happens to me. I need to stop worrying the adrenalin rushes thought me so fast my heart leaps to such a fast beat. Please can anyone give my ideas before its out of control that very near.
