Hello all,
I've recently had, what the ER called, a panic attack. When I went in, they noticed an arrhythmia with my heart. I've been seeing a cardiologist, and they have confirmed that I have Wolff-Parkinson White syndrome. They did an echocardiogram on my heart, and a stress test. After the stress test, however, my cardiologist told me that he saw potential signs of coronary artery disease, but told me not to worry as I am 27, 5'9" and 150lbs, and that it could be nothing. I'm having a CT Coronary scan on the 3rd of next month, but ever since then I've been feeling sharp pains in my chest that seem to occur more when I'm laying on my stomach/chest, difficulty breathing (as if there is a constriction in my throat, which has led me to assume I'm asthmatic). I've also been having these feelings of despondency, as well as random depression where I start crying for no reason. I've been to the ER twice this year already, and both times the doctor said I was fine. This past visit they ran blood tests and did an X-Ray on my chest, and told me everything looked perfect. I guess my question here is, has anxiety taken a giant hold over me after these recent cardiologist visits? Am I battling with depression that is on-setting my anxiety symptoms, or do they both go hand-in-hand? I am starting to feel like I am just going crazy at this point, and I can't talk to anyone about it anymore because it just feels like it's all I talk about.
