Please Tell Me I am OK

Like I need one more thing to worry about right now!  About a week ago I started feeling kind of strange and things are not much better.  I have had some heart sensations that seem abnormal.  I would describe them to be like a fluttery sensation or even sometimes racing.  Yesterday I really freaked out because I was overwhelmed with a strong pounding feeling and then I felt very dizzy and like I would pass out.

I was just folding laundry and not doing anything strenuous or stressful.  It really scared me and I didn't know what to think.  I took an aspirin because I was worried I was having a blood clot or some kind of heart attack.  I did get an appointment to the doctor for tomorrow afternoon.  I am hoping that she will tell me it isn't anything to worry about, but I know I will worry. 

I am at a loss as to why I feel this way.  I hope it is just a manifestation of anxiety or stress and not some heart condition  or something life threatening.  Not that the former is a walk in the park, but it is probably a whole lot easier to manage and control.  I don't need any more stress or anxiety, that is for sure!
