About Me (In My Own Words)
I am in the waiting period for two surgeons looking at my tests to determine potential surgery date. One out of state and a backup in state. The waiting and the unknown is making me a wreck and worrying about every irregular heart beat or different feeling. This has resulted in anxiety over trying to keep my heart at a normal level which then makes it escalate to a panic attack when I can’t control it. Sometimes it happens when not even thinking about the surgery or my heart. This is the first time I have ever experienced panic attacks but the severity and the unknowns leave me feeling unreasonably fearful.My logical mind knows this is way out of proportion but logic is not controlling the feelings. Any advice on how to break this cycle while I wait?
