I am looking for some answers... please help. I am 30 years old, I used to smoke, but haven't for 4 years, I still drink occasionally, I do not drink any caffiene, nor have I used any type of recreational drug. I am fit, not over weight, and generally very happy. I have had panic attacks many times in my life, but have learned to manage them via breathing techniques and healthy living.
I recently lost my job, which has really lowered my stress level, but I am a giant ball of energy. If I get more than 7 hours of sleep, I feel awful. Today, I slept a thorough 8 hours, and I made sure to play hard with my kids, went to the park, ran around, cleaned the entire house, etc., but late afternoon, the boys were tired so we decided to watch a movie. I was laying down in my bed when I started to get a very heavy feeling in my chest, I could feel my heart beating very very hard, I get pains in my ankles aroung the heel, and I start yawning uncontrolably. I feel awful. After the movie, I ran downstairs, got a tall glass of water, ran in place for a while, took off my bra, and now I am strating to feel better, but I am so scared.
Is this normal? I am so afraid that I have a heart problem that is being overlooked. I no longer have insurance, but did for years, and every test came back great. I have excellent blood pressure at 110/60 on average, and my resting heart rate varies from 60bmp to 75bmp, depending on how much sleep I get.
My heart races after I eat, if I have to go to the bathroom, or if I over react to a twinge of pain that I feel in my body, which is VERY often. I fell them in my arms, my legs, my jaw, and sometimes my chest. I also suffer from heartburn more often than I used to, and all of these symptoms greatly increase 3-5 days before I start my period. This is hell.
Are there any docs or nurses out that that can give me piece of mind? Sorry about the long post. Thank you!!
