Hello ladies
not feeling good today, have had a rubbish few months health wise, firstly admitted to hospital with palpitations and rapid heart beat and an abnormal ecg, to cut a long story short they diagnosed hypothyroid , 4 weeks later it turned out to be thyroiditis ( a virus) so now they want to investigate heart😩This sends me into melt down as any twinge now I think I'm going to have a heart attack, just wish my referral would hurry up, I've experienced palpitations this morning although they were very brief I have started to worry again, have been able to cope until now, I'm 44 and had my fsh done and they were 9.6, I know these aren't always reliable tests as my mum was done at 40 so with all other symptoms I have I think I could be peri, just wondering if any of you ladies feel as rubbish as I do, upset as I'm writing this, GP said she didn't want to start me on anything until heart investigations had been carried out.
Sorry for the ramble but feeling very low and frightened today

Hi luigi sorry to hear you are feeling rubbish,many ladies on here have very similar experiences and I am sure will help you along your way,I think the fact that you are waiting for a referral is good cuz if it was urgent you would have been seen straight away chin up n think positive keep me posted xx

[Luigi]

Thank you lollipop , I've been a bit better this afternoon, went out with my mum and everything seemed to calm down ( mums always have that knack don't they!)
Yes I think I need to think positive as I know that after 6 weeks after I had the first cardiac episode and nothing was done about it in hospital makes me think it's all probably due to my hormones.

If it was your heart you would have known by now.  When I get indigestion and wicked acid reflux I do wonder about my heart but as it's always the same time of night 

Do you do any relaxation, yoga, deep breathing?  Might help a bit but needs practice.

[Luigi]

Thanks , no ckld I don't do any breathing but have always fancied yoga so maybe it's time to start!
Also I think a lot of my problems are indigestion and wind! I have a HH which can cause havoc some days!
Just so fed up of feeling rubbishy, I must be driving my hubby mad!

Hi luigi I am 53 now being going along since around 2012ish early days were the worst thought I literally dying with heart problems (still here lol) it's just very scary at the time and chatting about it off loads some of the anxiety.as I have said in other posts my daughter is a cardiac sister in heartlands hospital,Birmingham she laughs at me when I used to say I think I am having heart attack she said you would definetly know if you were .and yeah as cold said breathing is great if you are having pal patios give your self a hearty cough soon rectifies it xx

[Luigi]

Lollipop it's lovely to know I'm not going mad!!! It does help loads to off load it!
How spooky it all is though as I had my appointment through for a 24 hour heart monitor next Thursday! I think the palpitations scare me more than anything and then I panic, then my heart rate increases. Think I also need to slow down a bit , I'm always 100 miles an hour and after having my thyroid problems I'm not really giving myself to get well to deal with everything else! Think I might start some vitamins as my iron is a little low but nothing that the GP was worried about but might just help to boost me!
