Hi leannejp, If there was anything wrong it would have shown up on the ECG. ECG s do not only show what is happening at the time of having it, it can also show if you have had a heart attack in the past. The echo would also have revealed if there was a problem. The symptoms you describe seem to me to be anxiety related. All the symptoms you describe are anxiety symptoms. Anxiety symptoms are like a chain reaction, one thing causes another to happen. You have been through a lot plus have recently given birth. I suspect this is your first child which would explain your stress levels. You are trying to get everything right, worrying about your baby, worrying what would happen to your baby if anything happened to you.....it goes on and on. All this is adding up and is causing you to get anxiety attacks. These can be awful, some people even get symptoms where they can t breathe and are convinced that they are going to collapse. Speak to your GP about it and he/she will be able to suggest various means of de-stressing, either with medication or some other form of therapy depending on your medical history. Please get help though, as you are suffering needlessly, there really is help out there! Hope this helps. Love Mel.X
