Back from hospital

Mental health

Had a call from the hospital today today. Was told to go in and speak about my 48hr ecg, they had me do one bcoz like most people here suffer from chronic chest pain day and night. Waited 4 hours to see the consultant and I sit and have a talk to him for a while and he says I have a very healthy heart and he is not concerned at all and he cannot give me any answers that can point to the reason these are happening. Is it me or when you get all these tests come back fine it doesn't help you it frustrates you bcoz something must be causing them if it's caused by anxiety it can't be cured with a pill do how long will one be like this. Just a arghhhhhhhhhh moment

I know it can be frustrating when all of the tests come back fine and nobody can really give you an answer, but look on the positive side of this. Wouldn't you rather know that your heart is perfectly healthy rather than find out your heart is failing you? I'm sorry you're experiencing chest pain, it's awful. I know anxiety can trigger chest pain so that might be what it is. Hoping you feel better soon, take care!

Just except it as part of life and it will get less bothersome try magnesium every day I have found it makes them way less.  I take it every day takes a couple weeks to start noticing some relief

Glad you got on ok. It is easier if they can give you a pill to fix it but at least you are physically healthy.

Yes you are totally right in what you are saying. I am happy my heart is working good, but I wish I could have an answer of why this is happening if that makes sense. Just a draining thing to have is this, thanks for your reply love. Have a nice day

If you have gone through a 4 hour ECG and the test have returned all clear, that is it, your heart has been checked at various periods of time, doing different activities. You now need to accept your results and move on. Be thankful and trust those who have interpurated your results. You can put your mind a rest and move on with your life.

Your chest pains seem to be caused by Anxiety and stress. As a matter of interest, why be upset that your heart is fine would you prefer open heart surgery ??

Move on and be thankful your problems are nothing to worry about. I was involved in a car accident many years ago and when I was taken to hospital they found a congenital heart defect. That was in the seventies and all these remarkable operations were very risky, eventually they found a hole in my heart that had been there at birth. I moved on I had been quite active as a child and my parents never told me regards this condition. I had to ask myself what I would have done if I knew. I was thankful in a way, I had lost several friends with heart problems and never knew about my own condition.

Please be thankful all is ok then move on and enjoy your life, that is what I did, I travelled the world and visited some very questionable places. 

When ill try and ask some questions of yourself and consider the least worse option before lying on your death bed. Most problems the general population has with health are not life threatening. Live your life by the day and let the past look after itself. Future events should also be left for the future to look after itself

Yes hello Bob you are so right you always are. Thank you for the reply. No I ain't upset they didn't find anythjng wrong with my heart I am indeed very happy and relieved about it but still frustrated bcoz they can't give me any answers to why this is happening. Its causing me hell literally can't sleep its having a massive impact on my life. So if I had to say yes I am still non no wiser about it all but still laid here with the feeling of someone stood on my chest with a woman's high heel shoe on. Thank you for you story I understand it more. I just am struggling to find a way to deal with it and untill i can deal with it I am struggling to live with it. If that makes sense. Maybe that's the PTSD causing me to see the worst in every situation that's how it gets u. Its all the work of the devil

Thanks

Can you explain your PTSD, I have problems with memory and need a shuggy every now and then

Regards your Chest Pains, You know what is causing your problem it is an understood condition Anxiety, so you can  try and approach this condition for what it is. Encouragement and understanding can and will help, the person who can encourage and understand your condition is yourself and all those sufferers on site.

Today I have my last course appointment of CBT and we were discussing the best way forward. I wish I could help myself more than I feel at this time as my condition has become worse and have lost most of the use of m right hand elbow and hand, I am taking Opiates like there is no tomorrow and no-one although they know my condition a form voice always explains to me that I know what needs to be done, do it. I get a referral to myself.

I really understand and feel sorry for your worry and fears, it is always a real nasty problem to feel you are not getting any help and encouragement. All I will suggest at this time is when push comes to shove we all need to take the  bull by the horns and move on.

Remember Jordan

Do not let the BU"" """RS get you down, you show them what you can do.

I understand. Try to google a few remedies maybe? I saw that somebody advised you to take Magnesium.

I totally relate. Every time I get a good test back I feel good for a split second and then immediately go to the "we've missed something" or the "you're just dismissing my symptoms because you think I'm crazy" thoughts. It's the anxiety rearing its ugly head.. I'm really glad to hear your heart is healthy though. Just keep telling yourself that. ECG's are very objective, nearly impossible to misinterpret. It is very unlikely they missed anything and more likely that anxiety is just a big old b-word that causes both your physical symptoms and these thoughts.. hang in there!
