Hello yes it is anxiety mate you have exactly the same symptoms as me chest pain all over i get it left side and in the middle pins and needles in left hand . Feel like paralyzed. If you move to quick feel like your going to faint or calapse. Blurry vision. Feeling I'll all the time everyday . Sensitive to light. Weak. Erm acheing all over. Heart beat sometimes miss a beat and sometimes goes really quick and pounding. Hot flushes . And then the bad thoughts that you can't get rid of thinking your going to have a heart attack . Is this you mate ?? Because it's exact same as me
Aloha Jacques,
Even though you're stating that your new to the whole anxiety attacks and the symptoms that come with having them it sounds like you have been going through them all and quite quickly as well. I can only offer a small amount of advice but I pray that it'll help you to stave off the whole anxiety thing. So what you need to do first thing of course is go to your primary care physician and tell them exactly what you have been going through and how often and for how long. Very important to tell them every thing even if you don't think that it's relevant. Ok second thing is to find a psychiatrist who will be able to help you to figure out what types of maybe like medication that will help you and by that I mean help you to not have as many symptoms and issue when you're attacks come they will be less of a horrible experience. Third find a therapist that's close to home. Buy find one that you like and respect. If you don't like them or agree with them, move on to the next person. They are going to be your anchor so you need to be able to trust them when you have sessions. This may all seem time consuming but it is all truly worth it if you trust that the process will work. You may not even need meds or maybe your more of a group therapy kind of person, all these things will come to you as you figure out how everything works. Best wishes and Happy Holidays.

Many of your physical pains can be caused by Anxiety, you have had tests and you should try and accept your results. This can be problematic and you will need to address the problems associated ith your problems. One thing you need to consider is you are not going to die, Anxiety sufferers have a problem where they make general health matters are worse than they are and their life is at risk. This is generally not the case and a sufferer needs to learn how to tone down your fears and move on.
Intitially you need to accept the test results that have been performed and move on through life.
You can try Mindfulness and Breathing Exercises, you may also visit your GP and be put on a pathway to learn how to cope with general Health problems
It does seem you have Anxiety, although your GP will confirm that
Make an appointment, then try and move on

Thank you borderriever , Its difficult to cope with yes , Im going for my final tests in starting of the new year , and then I will know exactly , But Yes I need to accept it and move on
All these symptoms are the exact same as mines, if I take my mind off it I’m much better, but the minute I think about it i feel terrible again. I also have beta blockers which have began to help me and I’m trying to get through a day as much as I can before taking one.
I have many of those symptoms as well for the past few weeks- chest pain, back pain, arm pain, palpitations, nausea, breathing issues, etc. Doctor said it's anxiety. I'm going to ask for testing next month with my new primary doctor.
I have found some yoga poses help me relax, and some guided meditation has helped me as well. You can look up guided meditation on YouTube to find some videos. I hope you find relief soon!
Jacques
Good luck with your decision, let us know how you get on
