hi all,
I'll start by saying I'm a fit healthy 44 year old male, go's gym 4 times a week, rides bike 300 km a week. Sounds good hey
except my minds a mess. Its health anxiety!! . I started getting heart palpitations about 4 weeks ago at the gym after pushing myslf hard, then started getting short of breath. I kept fighting through it but started to feel worse. When i rode my bike also stated coughing alot and feeling short of breath. Went doctors and had some tests, all good no signs of any problems. Then at work oneday felt really short of breath so went hospital and had ecg , chest xrays , blood tests and again all good. last 2 weeks I have been drinking alot alcohol which seems to help take away alot symptoms, but when I wake up in morning I feel same again. So the peak happened today at work, had a slight pain in chest which played on my mind then all hell broke loose, apparently I hyperventilated, lost control of my beathing, my limbs went tingling, even had trouble talking, was scariest day in my life. work had call ambulance for me and take me to hospital. not sure how I can break this cycle. I know its in my mind and I am sure I am fit and healthy but I can convince myslef yet. any suggestions if someone else is going through same thing
