Hi everyone about 2 weeks ago i went to a&e thought i was having a heart attack but got an ecg and everything was ok. the doc says it was a panic attack. But from then i keep getting really bad pains over my heart like a stabbing pain and pain in the center of my chest and my arms sometimes go numb. I cant stop thinking about it and its just getting to much for me. Has anyone got any advice on my problem. Thanks very much ps I am a 25 year old male
It's the typical symptoms of anxiety and panick try to keep your mind from it when you feel that way go of something like was dishes go for a walk listen to music the more you sit and think about it worse you feel I know it's hard as chest pains are a scary thing but it really does help
I know how you feel. The anxiety is one thing but the symptoms that come with it are on a whole other level. Have you seemed help in deinf with your anxiety?
Yes it's normal! If you had your heart checked out.. Whenever I get chest pain I usually drink water & lay down with my tummy faced down.. Anxiety has tons of symptoms & if you worry it only makes it worse.. So you know you've checked your heart & you are ok.. The numbness comes along with the anxiety.. It is a symptom.. I get numbness on my head too & pins & needle feelings but also on my fingers ect..
As all the important test have been carried-out and have been found to be ok, you have nothing to fear really, other than the fear of fear itself leading to anxiety.
Anxiety attacks, although usually self-induced do carry symptoms most of which you appear to have been suffering with.
Try your best to relax a little more by doing what you enjoy doing, and hopefully things will improve for you very quickly.
