Today, after months of my doctor telling me that my heart palpitations are simply due to anxiety, and that I'm perfectly healthy, I decided to weight train to face my fears. Two hours later, I was in the emergency room. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, my doctor ordered me an EKG to help my health anxiety. I have panic attacks and feel like my heart is out of rhythm, but my doctors have all told me it’s just in my head. I got the test results. I meet with the cardiologist next week to discuss surgery. FML
Today, I went to see a doctor because I have been feeling of pressure in my chest. After running numerous tests, I was told I was perfectly healthy and had nothing to worry about. I made it as far as the front door before I collapsed and had to be rushed to the hospital. FML
Today, I woke up my friend and had him take me to the ER. I had trouble breathing and my chest hurt, so the doctor put me on an EKG and took X-rays. I had strained my chest lifting weights at the gym earlier that day and pulled a muscle, and now thanks to my massive anxiety I have a $700 hospital bill. FML
Today, I went to the gym to run. I ended up at the hospital because i went into anaphylactic shock. Apparently I'm allergic to exercise now. FML
Today, I'm recovering from an emergency room visit. I was vomiting, sweating, shaking, crying, and couldn't even speak properly. I was scared of that, and scared of hospitals after a routine surgery nearly killed me two years ago. Most of my family are convinced I was faking all of it. FML
Today, I had a panic attack. Not on a crowded train, or an airplane, or in school, or any of the expected places. It was in my yoga class, which my therapist recommended for me, while I was in a dead-body position. FML
Today, while fasting for a medical test, my blood sugar became so low that I had heart palpitations and passed out. My doctor's advice? Fast, so he can run more tests. FML
Today, I finally went to the doctor's about my severe anxiety. I'm so used to putting on a happy performance around people that she didn't believe anything was wrong with me. FML
Today, I found out that what I thought could be a life-threatening issue causing me chest pains was only because I over-obsessed about it. Now not only do I have social anxiety, but I get so anxious I can create fake illnesses. FML
Today, I had a heart attack. At the hospital, the doctor compared my heart to a stressed out 60 year-old's heart. I'm 17 and I don't even have a job yet. FML

You have to listen to your body, get a second opinion before you push yourself too hard next time

I don't really understand this FML, does OP mean he ended up in the emergency room because of his anxiety or there actually did turn out to be something wrong?

Never take heart palpations lightly. I do hope you get better soon.

In weight-lifting, "no pain, no gain." Therefore, "heart attack" means "you're gonna get huge and ultra-ripped in days, dude." Keep it up, bro.

OP: What...what happen? Doctor: You entered the weight room and slipped on an ice cube.

At least he's told you now love, while you can still get the marriage annulled and there's not an unwanted child on the way/here. My ex husband knew I wanted children when we married, we discussed the best time to start trying after the honeymoon and started trying a year into our marriage, It took 2 years for me to conceive. When I was 8 months pregnant he confessed that he didn't want children afterall. He now has a beautiful 2 year old girl that he rarely sees. I know it's heart breaking to find out the person you wanted to share your future with lied to you about the future they wanted, but it really is best to find out shortly after the marriage. FYL though hun, and good luck with whatever you chose to do. xx
