tnmomofive - Anxiety Message Board

Hi - I was over at the heart health board (yeah - again!) and saw that you posted in response to those women who wrote about how heart probs are missed in women, and they were discussing heart attacks in young women!

I know I dont' have to ask you if you are as freaked out as I am about all of that. I'm really bothered by what I read. More anxiety!!!

Did you decide to do anything else? I have decided to see a great doctor (my mom's actually) even though he is 45 minutes away. I am going to print out that whole posting, and mention the MRI test as well.

I know that my anxiety will never just disappear, but I just can't help but think that I need to look into this more. I know the palps, and pains are real. But I need proof positive that it's nothing, you know?

Just wanted to write a post to you because you & I are so similar! I will be logging off for the day soon - I hope you are feeling well!!!

Take care!!

Oh boy yes I went back to heart board too ugh lol I havent had an MRI over this either but last night it was weird I had this real mild deep burning in my left arm just in a very small area well then several hours later this same burning was then in my left leg and even odder the night before this same burning was in the left side of my chest deep under where my left breast is I am not sure if this is how blockages can present themselves or not so yeah im still pretty nervous over all this I think if nothing is relieveing your fear then you are doing the right thing by being checked over more as for me I havent been back to my doctor since having that stress test done weeks ago but I will probably make an appointment monday and tell him of the new stuff ive felt and see what he thinks it prob doesnt help me any that my husband is on the vol fire dept and so I always have my scanner going on my kitchen counter and most ams (most heart attacks happen in the early am) the dispatcher is calling first reponders out because someone is possibly having a heart attack ugh! Anyway,I hope you can have the MRI done and I hope all goes well and you are fine I truely hope you can have peace of mind very soon this is such a crappy way to live I can certainly think of people who deserve dealing with this and I do not think you nor I do ....ok before I bust out into a full pitty party ........I will end take care and thanks so much for thinking of me

Hi,
I hope you are feeling better & everything is okay!! I actually managed to not take any Xanax all day Saturday & most of Sunday. That was a nice change.

I am counting the days until I see this new doctor. I am going to point out the new info about women & heart disease.

Who knows - this could all be muscular pain due to the anxiety brought on by the PVC's!!

I am sure hearing about the heart attacks on the scanner freaks you out - I would probably be a mess if I heard that every morning. I can't even read articles in magazines about heart attacks anymore - it brings on some major anxiety.

I hear ya - this is not a proper way to live. We have way too much ahead of us!! I hope we can just get this whole darn thing licked & move on, you know?

Take care & hugs to ya!!
