Here it goes….. Had a partial hysterectomy in my mid 40’s due to prolapse. Ovaries intact. I am now 61 and intermittently over the past maybe 5 years have dealt with anger, low tolerance of people, overwhelming sadness, crying about everything, palpitations off the chain. PMH to include Hasimotos since my first born was 6 weeks old (31) now. Panic disorder 28 years ago, based off of 1 incident but definite anxiety disorder. Cardiac work up over the years negative. Use to have runs of PAT’s controlled with beta blocker. December 29 my heart takes on a new jump, Afib. For years I am way to in tune with every beat my heart makes. I could sit still and take my pulse, feel PAC, PVC, etc. Needless to say, a trip to ER was warranted only to be put in waiting room for 5 hours and I self converted to NSR. For years I have suggested that menopause symptoms and GERD are playing a major part on my heart rhythm, anxiety. Over the past week I wake at 3 am nightly, feeling of doom. Flush feeling without sweating. I dread getting out of bed but laying in bed doesn’t help either. I’ve been put on blood thinner and prescribed an anti arrhythmia drug that at this time I am extremely hesitant to take. I describe how I feel to my Docs is that my body is out of harmony. I want to find peace again and free from health anxiety 😢😢😢🙏🏼. Words of encouragement would be greatly appreciated 💖
