MDJunction to me

tomboykimi"What MD Junction means to me is a place where i can feel like im not alone. As someone with something as rare as hydrocephalus, it feels like im the only one in the world with it. When i came to MD, its like everyone has it. It doesnt feel like im alone. And that people need to hold up a sign to say what i have, because people know. And they understand. I can get questions answered from people who have been through it rather than from doctors or people who only can tell you from a physical standpoint. THat is what MD junction means to me."

I have another question. Could an increased heart rate at rest be part of panic? I have days when I experience panic at random times of the day. At times I can have an increased heart rate when I go to bed. I can feel my heart beat and it makes it difficult to go to sleep. Is there a possibility this could relate to panic? Thanks for your time and thoughts. ~Nickir

I have had the high heart rates.

I notice you posted regarding rib pain and clavicle pain also.

I had this just previous to when my heart rates started to get high.

Might have been costochondritis was what someone told me although I never got diagnosed with it.

I do have anxiety but I am not sure the rib pain and high heart rates were necessarily related.

Basically my chest hurt for a month.

Then the high heart rates started.

I can tell you that in time it has calmed down but it took quite a long time.

I had some activity intolerance with mine where as if I tried to do something like rake leaves I would come in breathless with my heart pounding.

3 more days of school-yipee!

This is interesting. I know pain can bring on panic so having both symptoms get confusing. Thanks

Well I don't want to jinx myself but mine seems better lately but it has taken me almost 2 years to get there.

I just hope it continues.

Our bodies are miraculous, our minds are the most complex. You mix the two with disruptions to both and you get what you described. I guess God feels I can grow even further than I ever thought possible. I believe when we go through what seems like torture we can then be helpful to others. Thank you for your time and giving of your knowledge. ~Nickie
