Hi guys,
I have a problem and I think its physical and not mental, but it seems like nobody beliefs me and I want to know, what you think.
(I know nobody can do diagnostics via reading, I just want to know what you think.)
So, every few weeks I have cardiovascular problems for a thew days, sometimes weeks. It comes out of nowhere, in any situation and has no correlation with stress or emotions. I can be sitting with a friend laughing and suddenly it begins. It starts with my heart racing or pounding (which can last for two hours.) and if it gets worser, I begin to shake a little bit and my legs give up (plus sweating and sometimes I can't talk anymore, because it's so exhausting). Laying down mostly helps a bit. The first time, this problem showed up, was about 9 years ago and I thought at that time I had an allergic reaction.
I had a Service Dog in Training for a couple of months and he warned me 20 minutes before it happened. I felt good at the time he warned me, but at some point I trusted him, because he was right. I felt very secure with him, but needed to give him away. The dog trainer who is specialized in service dog training told me, that it must be some kind of physical or neurological problem, because this dog couldn't warn a mental problem. My relatives on the mother's side have a long history with heart conditions. These two facts plus the feeling of it being a physical problem make me think, it is something physical. I mean, I was in a psychiatry because of ptsd and depression (both diagnosed in the psychiatry), but since one year I don't feel depressed and have no ptsd symptoms (I don't react to my triggers anymore and feel very stable).
I don't have any problem accepting it as a mental problem, if it is. I mean, I was in the psychiatry by choice and told them every symptom. (I also had derealisation, which is gone with the other problems since I moved away and had no contact to the people causing the ptsd.) At that time, I thought it could be panic attacks, but I don't have anxiety or panic while I have the heart problems. I just feel annoyed of them, because it makes school visits really difficult and I want to study after. I just want to know what it is. The therapist didn't diagnosed it as panic disorder too, because it wasn't the right diagnose. Every time I am visiting my family doctor and he/she knows, I was in a psychiatry or had depression, he/she doesn't take me seriously anymore and just want, that I hand them my therapy report over. They didn't even want to see my long time ECG or give me a doctor referral. They start to speak loud and slow, as if I were slow. They don't listen of what I am talking about. And I changed my family doctor while moving away, but at my new home aren't many family doctors so that I can change them.
Has anyone have the same problem as a dissociation etc? Or has a clue, if it even could be a mental thing, if it's not correlated to any situation or emotion? I know, they can be a problem that I don't see, but I processed the past (as far as I know) and don't feel stressed (well, only if the heart problem last very long).
