Skipped beats and palpatations are terrifying me right now. U have just been at the park with my son having a lovely day when out if no were I felt weirs fluttering in my chest a few times I ignored it and carried on then felt them again I checked my pulse and could feel the pause of my heart beat it's so scary I felt as tho I was about to collapse I m so scared. This has happened before I have had ecgs all fine blood tests are fine I have just had a 24 hr monitor on and of corse I didn't get any wen I had it on.
Hi Lynsey,
I think you didn't get any problems while thee 24 hour monitor was on was simply because it was there.
Let me try to explain - you've had ECGs, blood tests, and all are fine. You're still getting these scary attacks. You know that they are not related to your heart.
When the machine was on, you felt secure - as soon as anything happened, it would show up, so you were worrying much less.
This has happened to me, too, and I now just believe the doctors who tell me there's nothing terrible going on in my heart.
Can you go back to your GP and explain what happened to you today? You need more reassurance.
If this is a manifestation of panic attacks you might as well be told, then you can at least stop thinking you're about to have a heart attack. If it isn't, equally you need to find out.
Maybe another ECG will reassure you. Believe me, I'm not minimising what you're experiencing, I'm just worried that its perfectly possible that you're worrying about nothing tangible.
I hope this makes sense. love Tess.
Thank u for ur response I understand totally what you are saying I know deep down its more than likely anxiety etc I have had about 7 ecgs this yr all fine lots of bloods all fine I have doctor later today and will mention it then c if can reassure me a bit . It is so scary wen it happens x
We could be twins, honestly!
I know it's scary but you have to accept that it isn't a cardiac problem.
I mean, that's good news, surely? Panic attacks are no fun at all and lots of people have very bad ones. I'm so glad you're going to see your GP today. I'm sure that will help. Let me know how you got on. Love Tess
U are right I shoot be happy I have had my heart checked and been told it's okay x thank you I will let you know how it goes x
