Speaking of anxious moments

At the tail of the week when I was sick (remember those 6 lbs I lost and came back fast LOL), I thought I was having a heart attack at Jazzercise.

I'm not sure whether this answers your question but please know that many people suffer from this condition and you shouldn't be embarrased or feel guilty because of it.

First of all, if you feel like your heart is giving you trouble, get to the doc PDQ.
Nothing to feel guilty or ashamed about!

At the time, I was under a ton of stress at work also, and it really took a toll. I put it to my boss quite simply - if things didn't change, I was going to leave, period. Maybe that was a bit dramatic, but by then he knew I meant it, even without another job lined up. We had a long meeting, tweaked some procedural problems, eliminated certain people from specific roles in the marketing process because their lack of performance was affecting me and my workload most negatively, and things simmered down a bit.
Don't feel ashamed or embarrassed or guilty. Deb, ask "what if"; there's a family history there that cannot be ignored, no matter what your physical condition might be. Women's heart attack symptoms are not always the big emphatic ones that men tend to have; ours are more sneaky and quiet. Frankly, I'd rather make noise ahead of time than the alternative. If my doctor thinks I've gone round the bend, so be it. It's a small price for me to pay compared to what bigger thing could be in store. And there are a lot of doctors out there who will pay attention.

What an interesting conversation.
You Were Born An Original... Don't Die A Copy
My mom was on Valium as a teenager and into her 30's. She should still be on , in my opinion. I told my daughter several months ago that Nana is so afraid of life, she doesn't know how to live. It dawned on me that I, too, was like that in some ways. Now THAT really scared the heck out of me! :)
Thanks for getting this entire ball rolling...

Anxiety/panic attacks are another major symptom/complaint of perimenopause. It is horrible when it happens and they really do feel like heart attacks.
At power-surge.com, women are always talking about having them. The biggest hurdle is to convince yourself that you are not dying, then
