โA note for the next person. In 2022 I was exactly where you are. The worst part was checking my pulse all the time. Last month I had people round for dinner. Praying for you.โ
โI'm not going to tell you everything happens for a reason so it doesn't so but you can get through it so I did, and I'm not especially strong and I started keeping a symptom diary and suddenly the doctors took me seriously.โ
โTo anyone just starting with heart stuff: it's scary and your brain will tell you every twinge is the end. It's not. Go to the rehab class even if you feel silly. Check your pulse less. I know, easier said than done. And let people help you. I'm still learning that one. You'll have good days again, I promise. They just come slower than you'd like.โ
โIn 2022 I was exactly where you are. I remember a pacemaker beeping at the airport like it was yesterday. These days I mostly feel like me. Hang on.โ
