JUST A WEEE BIT SCARED!

For years I have been having heart palpitations. Brought it to the doctor's attention a long time ago, they stuck these things on me and hooked me up to a machine that read my heart rhythms (EKG) and said, "Nope, your ticker is fine." Well, they were few and far between back then. Now I am having them almost daily and am going to see a cardiologist today. Heart disease is rampant in my family (paternally) and I'm just like my dad. Have his temper and everything. It's one of those double edged sword things. I don't want anything to be wrong, but I do want them to find something so that I know that this thing in my chest feeling like an alien trying to force its way out isn't in my mind. I don't even have to be doing anything. I was sitting in a chair last night kinda dozing, but it started happening, so I woke up. I didn't tell my husband anything about it until yesterday and he's trying to be supportive, but thinks I'm over-reacting. It's my heart. How could I be over-reacting? I didn't even cook yesterday. The kids had left over pizza and I just sat in a chair all night, afraid to move for fear of a heart attack. I don't help matters any by smoking (talking to doctor today about stopping with the aid of that new medication), and being over-weight (perhaps a thyroid conditions, because I don't snack except for the occasional just gotta have some chocolate, and the fact that I have to clean out my hair brush EVERY day due to hair loss). You would think that I would be completely bald by now, but I'm not. I have TOO much hair. We'll see what he says. Keep me in your prayers, even if you aren't a believer in that sort of thing, what could it hurt?
