Anxiety or thyroid problems??

[Ava Grace]

So I finally went to the doctors today as for weeks now I have felt nervous and shaky for no apparant reason! I feel hot then cold and my heart rate is definately faster than it should be. I have had minor panic attacks in the past but since I had my little boy these have got worse! it sounds really silly but I have a fear i'm going to die and not see him!! I hate this feeling! Twice now (about 6 months apart) i have work in the night bolt upright with my heart beating like crazy and almost feel like I might pass out! I have to talk to myself and calm my breathing down and then i'm ok! It does worry me that I can get into this state! I saw the doctor today and he said it is either anxiety or could by thyroid problems and i'm having blood tests on wednesday! I'm now thinking maybe it is thyroid after reading symtptoms on google? Has anyone any experience of either of these? I haven't gained or lost weight recently though

Thank you x
