I have to apologise ... I didn't realise that we were supposed to update this thread first, and
then watch the Vuelta highlights, so I accidentally went about it the other way round!
I'm seeing a psychologist at the moment, the experience has caused me a few little wobbles, it seems to have taken away my belief in my own immortality
. So as an example, as I went to bed last night feeling a bit poorly, I hardly slept at all cos I was so worried that I was going to deteriorate in my sleep. I kept a bedside vigil for myself!
I'm sorry to hear that, Sara, but I understand - I went through a similar thing myself.
My symptoms were awful a year ago - I would lie in bed at night struggling for oxygen, my resting heart rate often being as high as 150 bpm, my heart rhythm would go crazy so it felt like I had a bird trapped inside my ribcage, and then I would get random sharp stabbing pains in my chest. Every night for several months, I was sure that I would die before dawn; I felt
extremely mortal - it is not a good feeling at all ...
I hope you feel better soon.
