Hospital and heart problems

Hospital and heart problems

I'm currently in the psych ward because my mental health has been pretty bad over the last month. I was meant to get discharged on Tuesday.
Anyway it didn't happen because I started getting chest pain, hypotension and sever tachycardia.
I'm really sick and I'm really scared.
I'm not allowed to get out of bed unless I go to the toilet, and just the 3 metres to get there make me want to pass out, cry because my chest hurts too much, and collapse back in bed. But even lying down I'm dizzy and in pain.I hate how aweful I feel.
They're doing lots of tests but the only answers coming up is nothing all they know is I'm having heart problems and my ecg sucks. I'm due to see a cardiologist asap but I'm scared.

They think it might be my new medication, but as its a depot it'll be in my system for over a month and Ill probably be transferred to a medical ward I guess. But it's so shit, I want to go home.

@Queenie I feel the best I've felt in a while actually. I'm looking into the future positively and I really hope that lasts.

I ended back in hospital for my mh over the weekend. They also reviewed the heart meds and increased them. Looks like things aren't getting better.

@The-red-centaur - I'm so sorry you are in so much emotional pain that makes you like living is too hard. I just wanted to let you know I'm here if you want to talk or I'm here to offer silent comfort if that's what you want as well.

@Sans911 thanks. I've been suicidal on and off for a long time. I've nearly died a few times and tbh that doesn't even scare me. I feel like I don't deserve to be alive

Re: Hospital and heart problems

I understand completely @The-red-centaur. I've been in your position too many times to mention and I feel the same right now.

What stops you though taking that final steps? I don't like to think I have hope, instead I remain curious as to what might be next for me. So keeps you living even when feel like you don't want to live?

Like you, I'm not scared if death. I'm scared of living like this forever.

Hi there @The-red-centaur
It sounds like things are difficult there for you at the moment. I am glad that you have been communicating with forum members to get yourself some support. I am concerned about you and am just going to send an email.
