I am just going to vent today. I am not feeling quite as bad as I sound, but I need to get this all out. I need to put it somewhere so I can move on

Please don't be offended by my saying this, but is this the menopause? I went through it when I was 33-35 and dear sweet god, nobody ever tells you that half the time you physically feel like you're about to die. My anxiety in general went through the roof. I was getting panic attacks that were 100% physical in origin and felt as if I had just been dropped down a well (you know, that plummeting, heart-stopped feeling?). It was hellish. The only reason I mention it is because it may have no bearing on your heart at all, but it might well be causing your reaction to the anxiety - this feeling of not being able to get a handle on the anxiety. I dono, just a suggestion. I know that when I figured out that all the stuff that was happening was physical in origin, rather than me being loopy, I felt a lot more able to cope with it / less worried about what it all meant.
Ha! You're not offending at all :-) - and this is certainly something I have considered as the cause! All of this can be connected - the heartbeat, hot flushes, and even the immune system problems/hives and panic attacks can be connected to both hypothyroidism and/or menopause! Menopause can be such a mindfuck. I was having perimenopause symptoms a bit over a year ago and some of the symptoms are very similar, especially the emotional ones. Everything is so interconnected.
I just want to get the damned test results back and also the ECG so that I can work on whatever it is.
Oh, and I am tracking through this journal and on my phone (for the more intimate symptoms) to see if anything is cyclic, which I can then give to my doctor.
I can see how worrying this must be and I hope that the results will be clear and good! I think it’s easier when one knows *what* is going on exactly, rather than being in the dark and just knowing that something’s not as it should be, as then it could be anything. And I hope you can go to Poland happily and celebrate your ***good*** results there!!! *hugs*
That;s the thing - just give me answers. I just want the test results (next week it will have been two MONTHS!) and want to start working on whatever is wrong.
The best thing to do in these situations is to not worry about them and to try to get your mind off of them. I have nerve damage in my right arm from years of working on computers. When I get stressed out, my hand will shake so bad, I can barely use a fork.
You work really hard...so hard, in fact, that sometimes I wonder how you do it :) You should go to a day spa to spend a "me-day". You wont regret it, and you definitely deserve it!
