Could someone help make sense of this?

I've been panicking about a job interview (moving from contractor to perm) during dec. Then when I went to work after Christmas break caught a stomach bug which sorted was in and out of my system for a good 3 1/2 weeks. During this time I somehow convinced myself that I've got a heart condition and I was about to die in a heart attack. Bit if a background on this is that I had an uncle who passed away at 29 of heart attack. I've never met him as I was a 2 yr old then but for some reason I started associated myself with this incident and I have no clue why!!! I started booking myself in to the doctors on a weekly basis and the doctor sent me for a ECG which came out normal. During this time my husband was due to go to Frankfurt from work and I got myself into such a state of panic and crying that he cancelled the trip... Which I feel awful about. During one of the blood tests it came to light that I have a Vitamin D deficiency and now on meds to sort that out. But I find myself panicking over this as well now..is something wrong with me? A bit of a background about me: 31 yrs, TTC, both sets of parents living 10 hr flight time away, lived in the uk for the past 8 yrs (dh 11 yrs), working full time, not many close friends certainly none I can pour my heart out to.

Something like this has never happened to me so really freaking out. Apologies for long post but didn't want to drip feed.

I posted this on chat and received some wonderful support and advice reporting again here in the hope if someone would be able help me make sense if this.

Did your doctor not refer you for any treatment for your anxiety? which would have been the more appropriate thing for him to do rather than resorting to an ECG to shut you up?

I would go and ask for some counselling as you sound v anxious (i know this only too well sadly)

take care x
