Morning Ladies
I think I might slowly be driving myself nuts with my health anxiety. I posted a while back about terrible heart palpitations which I have been dealing with daily for the last 6 months. Bloods fine, 2 ECG's in surgery fine, and had a 24hr monitor done at the beginning of July. Still no results and the surgery said they will phone when they arrive. I find this ludicrous and the wait is making me panic. Doctor said they are running months behind. Well that's not good enough and especially if I end up dead before I get the results. I'm not sleeping (or doing anything else really) because I am constantly worried I'm about to keel over. I have, at the same time, been suffering from what I think is a acid reflux and pain at the top of stomach in centre. I dont know yet if the palps and digestive issues are connected. I was given omeprazole which did no good and then was changed to lansoprazole which I think may be helping the stomach issues a bit (not all the time) but my heart is still flipping and flopping all over the place. It's really scary. So.... I thought I should try some supplements, thinking maybe a lack of something was causing my issues. I started at the weekend with Vit D (which I had stopped over the summer), a probiotic (which I believed might help my stomach issues), and an Omega 3 oil ( I really don't know what that will do but I must have read about it somewhere!). Anyway, here is my issue of the day and next health anxiety problem.. I have since last night started feeling tingling in my knees ( I do have achy arthritic knees). My joints all over feel a bit stiff and sore, my lower back is sore, my fingers feel like sausages, tight and sore and my boobs even feel a bit stingy, even the palms of my hands feel a bit like they are burning. Could this be the result of the supplements or am I being ridiculous? Should I keep taking them? Sorry for the long post, just getting so sick of myself. Grateful for any advice, even if it's to tell me to get a grip!!
