Heart Palps..

Postby Misvenus000 » Tue Jul 22, 2008 2:59 pm

After my scare with the doctor I have been dealing with a whole heck of a lot of issues. I have this anxious feeling in the pit of my stomach then I feel weak. I also don't have any energy for anything. Also, My heart pals every 10 minutes. At least thats what I feel. I am so scared, thinking that it has something to do with my heart. Even though I already came back from the ER and they did blood tests and an EKG. I keep thinking that they must have missed something. I honestly don't know if its my heart or if my muscles are contracting because my chest was tight for a few days from stress. I do know that its all in one spot. I don't feel winded. I do feel a bit better afterwards. Right now as I sit here I don't feel short of breath or chest pains. I am going to the therapist today at 1 (eastern standard time) 1 can't come fast enough. If this doesn't stop I will be going back into the ER and they can laugh at me all they want. I NEED some serious help. Every time I walk into the hospital I feel that they mock me. Or there not doing there jobs because they may think I'm crazy. I already got a huge bill from them. I can't possibly go back. Does anyone experience heart palps? I know I have had some that were stronger than the other. Is it associated with anxiety? I know it is with depression. I don't want to be home alone and pass out with no help and leave my kids by themselves.
When it happens, it happens for a reason. Next step, learn from it.

Misvenus, I think they might have to do with your anxiety. Please tell your therapist all about this. You are healthy and you will be ok. You're a good mom for thinking about your kids like this.

I came back and she told me that they are associated with my anxiety. Its stopped a lot after I left from her today. I know I'm fine I just really can't stand the fact that I am going through this crap. She also told me that the best way to get at it is by civil war.. LOL. In other words she wants me to fight the worry and the compulsion. Apparently, I am really OCD. I have a bad compulsion. I need things right away. I kind of figured that considering the fact that my mother is the same way. I know this is another worry but I'm afraid my kids will be the same way. I will at least be able to be there for them and help them understand that I was once there. She was really helpful in only one visit. I go to the group meetings after today. Its a womans associated meeting. I'm not sure what that means. I hope it makes sense when I get in there next Wednesday. The hour I was with her went by so fast. Heres hoping for another great meeting next week!

I hope she can help you too. If you are there for your kids and you fight your demons now, you will help them. They'll learn from you even if they get it themselves.

Iv'e had the heart palpatations a few times. Both times my cardiologist did 24 hour EKG's and stress tests and told me I was fine and it's not uncommon.
You should see a heart doctor and hopefully you will feel reassured. I find after my doctor tells me I'm ok the palpatations go away!
