...now there's a shocker! I have spent the entire evening in hospital. We had to call an ambulance, these feelings in my heart were insane. I was sat in the back on the ambulance and they did all my obs. I was tachycardic, my BP was really high (usually its stupid low) and my ECG was showing Atrial fibrillation, meaning the top two chambers of my heart are beating faster than the bottom two. I was put on oxygen as well because my breathing was a little bit crappy. The medic man stuck a candular in my hand and hit a valve apparently, my hand swelled up in seconds, it was so painful.

good job she has you to help her through it xx

I have had pdocs tell me that anxiety is not inherited, but I say, bullcrap. Most of my Aunts, Uncles, and a few of my cousins all have or have had anxiety attacks in the past and some still do.
