Hi,
I had a miscarriage last year Jan 2007.
Since then I am getting sick every month
until now. My illness are sore throat,
cold and cough. And since last year Nov
and this year Feb and now I am suffering
from Insomnia. I had chest paint this
week. Initially I thought my chest pain is
grastic pain but it subsided within mins.
I also found that my heart beat fast when
I am under stress or make a fast gesture.
Sometimes I feel that I can hear my heat
beat.
What am I suffering from.

Well, of course you really need to be
carefully assessed by a doctor but since
you have asked for an opinion on here, I
would say it is classic signs of a chronic
anxiety state. I think you may not have
properly got over the miscarriage and you
might be mildly depressed, too. Stress,
anxiety and depression can lower your
immune system and that is why you may be
getting repeated colds and sore throats.
Feeling your heart beat or having pains in
your chest are also classic signs.
Make an appointment to see your doctor and
go through all of this with him/her. I
would write a list of all your symptoms
and that way you will miss nothing and,
should you become a little upset in the
doctor's office from talking about your
problems, then you can just hand over the
list.
You should also try to keep a journal of
your symptoms, day by day, noting whether
or not anything seems to bring them on.
Take this with you to the doctor, too.
The chances are you will be given some
relaxation tips and perhaps referred for
some counselling. I know it feels like
you will never be free of this cycle of
ill health and stress, but it will go
eventually, believe me.

The chest pain/heart racing could be the
start of a panic attack. I agree with
Galaxy. A good psychologist should be able
to teach you good techniques to kill the
panic.
