I'm sorry it seems like I post the same thing over and over but I just keep needing reassurance. My heart rhythm is all out of whack. It skips beats almost every few beats. I have PACs/PVCs all the time, ectopic beats, rapid heart beat, strong heart beat sometimes and other times it's a very faint heart beat. I've had several tests and I'm curious what the odds are of them missing something. I seriously feel like I'm gonna have a heart attack or go into cardiac arrest all the time.
The tests I've had
Cardiac Blood tests checking calcium levels and things like that
Chest X-Ray checking structure of heart
CT scan with contrast checking heart and chest for blockages and blood clots
At least 10 EKGs all come back normal. One showed a right bundle branch block which is fairly common.
And I recently did a 48hr heart monitor and the cardiologist said I have a benign arrhythmia more than likely due to stress.
What's the odds of them missing something deadly because I seriously feel like I will drop dead any second..
It be difficult not to miss anything I'm heart obsessed I always have feeling of impending doom... My tumny is hurting cramp when I eat.. Weak and shaky inside of body thud pounding in ear feels blue all time don't leave house
Hey!
I was diagnosed with tachycardia with 19. My heart skis almost 40 beats in an hour sometimes and the pulse goes from 80 to 160 like a rollercoaster. And 10 years later I'm definitely still alive and well. I don't know how old you are but despite what people think, hearts are quite resilient. And if all tests came back fine then it seems to be a question of anxiety. Take a step back and assess the situation objectively. Why do you fear heart issues? Did you have a heart issue before or did anyone in the family die from an unexpected heart issue? Many people become obsessed with diseases after someone in their family passes away from one. In that case you should see a therapist and try to figure out how you can come to terms with your fear. Chances that something is wrong with you are very very low.
Had a similar problem for a good 1.5 years. It finally went away (mostly) about 6 months ago. It's hard to say what if anything helped my obsession with my heart rhythm. The best theory I have is that I started getting more sleep (a tough task with a bunch of kids).
It is probably different for everyone but I just wanted to say I got through a very similar part of my life that looking back feels like a dark veil of nightmares was lifted over my mind and life to now, where I can live a mostly normal life again. I hope the same for you.
Hi the stomach pain your having is that a synptom of anxiety or do you have another condition? I’m asking cos I have flare ups of IBS or atleast I think it’s that...I had a flare up about 2 weeks ago and I’ve been having some odd symptoms! I have health anxiety, mainly with my heart so I’m suffering at the minute. Been having some little twinges in my chest and left breast.
Get an echocardiogram done.
