Re: Is anxiety causing this?
This is the first time I’ve replied to a post on here. I’ve been coming to this site for years for reassurance. But— I could have written this myself. This EXACT same thing has been happening to me for about a week. I had a panic attack after it happened the first time and couldn’t sleep until 4 am. I’ve been extremely anxious ever since then. I’ve had some days where it feels better but last night it happened a lot and today it’s been there pretty much all day. I feel the exact same adrenaline rush and sometimes my arms and face feel hot and tingly too. It’s awful. I’ve been so worried about it. I’ve been diagnosed with Mitral Valve Prolapse Syndrome and dysautonomia so I’ve had a lot of heart checks in the past. They’ve all been normal. I’m not sure if it’s related to that or just anxiety. I’m sorry I haven’t been very helpful, but just want to tell you that you’re not alone. And if you go to the dr and find anything out about it, let me know. I’ll do the same.
Re: Is anxiety causing this?
I went to the Dr about it on Wednesday just gone and he had a listen to my chest. He said my heart beat was fine and my heart sounded healthy, but he ordered an ECG. He warned me if I start feeling pain and chest tightness I have to go up to A&E. Of course since he said that all I've felt is pain and chest tightness. He was a dismissive pig and when I tried to talk to him about my anxiety he just couldn't have cared less. I said my anxiety causes all kind of symptoms and he just repeated "well any pain you need to ring an ambulance". Without proper explanation and care never tell someone with health anxiety they could die 😭 anyways I will let you know what happens at my ECG. My heart palpitations haven't got any worse or better.
Re: Is anxiety causing this?
Some doctors have shocking bedside manners. No people empathy at all.
Good luck with your results.
