First, let me say that I am a 22 year old mother of 2 year old twin daughters. So my life is hectic, and I am always worn out. I have also become such a hypochondriac since I became a mother, and I'm not sure whether I should worry, or whether it's my fear kicking in.
Lately, I always feel SO tired (which could also be from having twins, and I do'nt sleep good or normal at all). And at times, I feel fairly light headed, not enough to say I feel dizzy- but just swimmy feeling. And it seems that at night time, when I sit down to rest (after my girls go to bed) my heart always seems to be RACING, like to the point that it's very noticable to me. I've timed it, and even after resting, its usually around 100 BPM (which I know it's high- but it is for me). And I've also noticed that it also gets worse after I eat. I have also noticed that it beats even faster if I lay on my left side.
This may not be related at all, but I have also noticed pain in my lower abdomen quite frequently. Its nothing severe, just enough to know it's there. Sometimes it feels as if it's under my left rib cage, and then at times, I can mash down right under my rib cage, pushing down towards my lower stomach- and can feel a pain as I do that (not one that hurts any other time, just if I mash on it).
I really hate going to the doctor unless I have an idea what's going to happen (as crazy as that sounds!) I'm hoping its nothing, but I'm worried it could be something serious and that maybe I should get there.
Any suggestions
