My family on my dads side have been dying lately. I lost 5 family members from stroke and heart attack the last one was from last week. From since the one before the the 5 one who passed away which was on the 28 of November I have been panicking over everything. I started feeling that I’m having a heart attack or a stroke, I could feel my heart strange and arm even stranger. I went for an ekg last week it’s my 2 nd one in 3 months. I did the full blood works 3 months ago everything was fine. I would stay there and feel the urge to go to the toilet and I feel shaky. As of today I have a mole on my back I had it checked out it was fine but I put on my corset whiles I was exercising and it got caught in it and it has become blistered and painful now I have more anxiety because I’m already thinking I have cancer. I can sleep through out the entire night. I was but on Ativan when my dad passed away 14 years ago I had to take it every day for 5 years and I just stopped 10 years later and I think I might need it. Please help me I’m scared.
Hi Mandy how are you feeling, any better? I can't offer advice, but I hear you and I hope you are ok. You are not alone I am in the same boat.. and it doesn't help that people that I know are also dying around me.
I'm pretty sure you're not going to die if you've had ekgs & blood tests. I was literally just in your position. I didn't have family members to die, but, my mom's aunt has had 2 strokes & lived. I've been super conscious over my heart thinking something was wrong. Heart papls, chest pain, nausea, blurry vision, dizziness, lightheadedness, numbness, shortness of breath. You name it. I'm o my 16 & I've seen a cardiologist. Been to the er 3 times. 4ekgs, a stress test, blood tests, holtermonitors, echocardiograms etc. All for skipped beats which are completely normal for anxiety. Your hearr is a strong muscle. It takes an immense amount of stress & prolonged pressure for sometging to happen to it. Remember your heart/body is for you, not against you. It's all a mind thing. If you convince yourself your going to die, your body is gonna work to protect itself when nothing is wrong which puts stress on your body. Were trained to think like hypochondriacs. The Internet loves to ant in your brain that something may be wrong, but it's not. If you had a heart problem, it would be been detected. There are people 800 pounds with congestive heart failure who haven't had heart attacks lol. & if you eat right, exercise, & don't smoke, your risk is even lower. If you wanna talk i can always comfort you because ik how it feels. Bit you have to chandw yoir way of thinking. Your okay. xoxo
