Hi,
Usually when I am ill i just put up with it and wait for it to pass but for the past few weeks I have felt my health get worse and worse pretty rapidly. I am obese and although I dont know my exact weight i know it is over 160kg.
About a year ago I went to AnE because I had a tight chest with pains in my heart and a heavy left arm with pains but after having an ECG + blood test + xray + blood preasure they said that it didnt show any signs of a heart attack. I had the same intense pains about a week ago and went back to AnE but the results came back the same.
The main issue I have now is that ever since I went to the hospital a couple of weeks ago everytime I lay down to go to sleep on a night I have trouble breath and I feel like my heart is skipping beats and on top of that sometimes if I feel like I skip quite a few beats my body all of the sudden jumps and I gain pains that shoot though my whole body for a few seconds which makes me scared to lay down and try sleep to be honest I am sat here at 1:30am typing this out.
One more thing I have just remembered is light headedness sometimes i feel like I’m not getting enough oxygen to my brain as I go really light headed and dizzy and my vision seems cloudy.
Now obviously a lot of these issues will be linked to my weight and I have been so scared that I have been taking action to lose weight over the past 2 week but I am more worried about the short term potential issues with my heart and breathing and just wondered if any of the things I have described ring any alarm bells as will take months if not over a year to improve my weight to a reasonable amount and at the moment I feel like I dont have anywhere near that amount of time unless these issues start to go away.
