So I saw a psychic and she was very good. She did scare me though all I said was yes or no or I understand at the end I asked about my health. She said you have anxiety and you get palpitations with fast heart I said yes then she goes to say can it cause a heart attack I don't know but all in all your in good health. I wanted to cry I couldn't even say anything did I take it the wrong way. She said I need to stop worrying and calm myself. She was on point. I finally just saw my ep dr and my pcp and eye dr all is good pvcs are all benign sinus tachy is not dangerous dr said if it's very bothersome they can take care of it otherwise he said leave it alone and it's just part of me. I started goolging after she told me that ugh. I'm guessing if you have extremely anxiety and panic attacks 24/7 they say it can lead to heart disease but I never heard of it before. Please reassure me now I'm getting scared. All in all I have been good last time I took a half Xanax was April 4th so I feel good still a little anxious but not bad.

I am someone who dealt with an extreme level of anxiety/panic attacks for many years. My heart is fine :-) Unfortunately, I did end up with a sleep disorder. This was due to running on 2 to 3 hours of sleep in a 24 hour time frame consistently for a few years. Then all I did was sleep. Once the sleep order was treated my sleep was a bit more normal but the extreme anxiety/panic attacks continued.

If, for the most part, the Psychic was spot on then she was probably pretty good. Once you asked about your health her intuition kicked in and your anxiety easily detected. Anyone that has any knowledge about anxiety/panic attacks knows palpitations are normal. Common knowledge: A large amount of people end up in the ER fearing they are having a heart attack and leave with a diagnosis of anxiety/panic attack.

I believe she was guessing with her response of a heart attack.

Yes I guess she was saying she doesn't know if that can cause it. I just saw the rethought he said everything good. I just have to not dwell on it. I'm sorry you got s sleep disorder from the panic attacks are you sleeping better now?

Hi PK,

Unfortunately, one of the challenges with health anxiety is that we tend to carry a level of disbelief when it comes to what our doctors/test results tell us!

Try stepping back, taking yourself and the fearful thoughts out of the equation...

What would you say to a friend who had received nothing but good reports on her health...but continued to worry?

Now, what would you say to her if she had been given a vague reading from a psychic...and was now upset by it?

Sometimes we need to look at our situations with more of an objective angle...

Keep working at your recovery and goals...you can do it!.:)

...I totally understand...

...yesterday, I actually "knocked on wood"...in church...on the wood pew!!

I had to laugh at the irony of this! ;p

...but we are all guilty of doing/believing in superstitious things from time to time, lol!

Chalk it up to a weak moment for you...and move on! :)

PK, just want to add this, i had problems with a physic who my wife was seeing, she kept telling my
wife it was a gift from God, so i went with my wife and i only asked one question.

"If your gift is from God, why do you charge for it"? See Kitty if i had the gift of healing i would not
even consider charging for it". While i do believe in the Gifts of the Holy Spirit i don't believe in using
them to profit myself. Peace
