Last night/doctors

Hi guys
So last night was a traumatic time for me it was about 2am I suddenly got this pain in chest and I instantly thought I was having a heart attack I was all tight and thought it was a heart attack and thought if I go to sleep I will end up dying in my sleep so I was really upset crying my eyes out my mom was in bed by then it was 3am I had to wake her up because I was so scared.
She woke up she was asking me what’s wrong I was trying to tell her but I was in so much pain I couldn’t talk properly.
she said to me you are definitely not having a heart attack I was so scared.

After that from last night when I woke up today I had to book a doctors appointment online on my doctors website because I’m just sick of worrying that I’m going to die every time I think there is something wrong with me.
But the thing is the form said 18 to 25 but I am 17 but I did check the information and it said people from 16 and over can use this website so I just put my moms date of birth in the form because my date of birth wouldn’t work but I put my name down on it.
I just don’t want it to go on her record and I don’t want her to know.
After I finish the form it said a doctor will contact me at 6pm on Tuesday by text or call or email but I want them to email because I don’t want my mom to find out 😰
Any advice?

Hi @Emoji246
I'm sorry for what you've been through, those kinds of situations like heart attacks must be traumatizing and I hope you get well soon, and send hugs to you

I'm not sure about this since I haven't experience a situation like this. Is your mom busy during 6pm? I recommend to talk by text or email and make sure you stay in a room alone and also make sure to silent your phone while you're have a chat with a doctor without your mom noticing.

I also not sure about her record one though. My advice isn't helpful much, and I hope this helps.

Hi @Past User I’m a bit unsure how I feel today I’m happy because I got to speak to the doctor and I’m annoyed because my moms in a bad mood over it I thought she would be happy but I guess not she’s not very supportive in these matters really in any matter really.

I start to question myself If I did the right thing 😔

Hey, can understand how scary it must be in the moment, especially when you feel like you don't have control over your body. If don't mind me asking, what did the doctor say in regards to the pains you were experiencing?

@Salix_alba_2019 Hi❤️
Yes it was very scary .
The doctor said I was panicking to much and I’m not having a heart attack and I told him I worry I will die in my sleep and then he said he will refer me to somewhere

Ahhh okay, hopefully, the person they refer you to can help put your mind at rest

Do, you know where the fear of passing in your sleep comes from, or is it just a spontaneous worry? After my dad died I recall being terrified to sleep for the same reason, it was a long time ago now and I understand that it can happen in response to losing someone.

I hope that you feel better soon

Hey Emoji!

Have you looked into health anxiety? Might be something to think about there's lots of stuff online that can help with it

Obviously professionals diagnose you but it might help regardless whether you do or not. I personally am a sufferer but haven't been so bad these days. Used to absolutely panic about everything that could happen to me! ❤️

@Past User Hello
Yes I have looked into that on the NHS website for that information it helps a little bit even if I look into that information my mind still tells me there is still something serious wrong even if I do try it never goes away.
Sending big hugs to you 🥰
direct message me if you want to talk
I know that the panicking feeling can be very scary.

Hi @Emoji246 you absolutely did the right thing. You were worried about your own health and you took action so congrats ☺️. I'm sorry if you're still feeling down but I hope your mom isn't mad at you now. I've also felt a fear of sleep for many years so if you wanna talk more about it you know where I am. ❤️

Hey emoji you definitely did the right thing. You know yourself better than anyone else meaning you know when you need help and support. It’s amazing that you’ve reached out to a doctor that was a big step. I hope you get the support you deserve, we’re always here whenever you need anything
