So since feb ive had chest pain. Diagnosed with costo. Numerous trips to the er. Had numerous ekgs, blood tests, nuclear stress test, etc. Doc said my heart is in pretty good shape. Also my boss passed away from dvt in april. Since then i have been going crazy thinking about dying from something to do with my heart. My chest pain comes and goea. I think its my anxiety. Im just so scared all the time. I am a single mom of 3 kids. Amd worry so much. Don't know whaf to do.
Hi Heidi,
I'm sorry, what us costo?
Were you close to your boss?
I'd be scared too if I had three little ones and on my own. Try hard to take some deep breaths, often and stay away from junk food 
easier said then done. Gotta stay healthy for the children!
Do you have supportive friends and family? Is there anyone you can reach out to, or can you talk with a counselor? I don't know where you live; in the US we have emergency hot lines. We also have other numbers that are for resources; you can call them and they can guide you to services that yo need.
I'm sorry you are alone, that has to be one of the hardest thing ever! My heart goes out to you.
Hey there... Our stories are kind of similar and just wanted to reply here.
I have been having chest pains since August. My mother past in July of a massive heart attack at the age of 41. I am 22, 23 this month on the 23rd. My chest pains come and go and i also have pains in my back. I have been to an urgent care the E.R. and soctors i havr had ekgs xray labs and soon to do an eco. I am in such desperate want for relief i have been put on medication for anxiety of depression i am a stay at home mother of 3 babies ages 3, 1 and 5 months. I constantly worry about death and every little pain or whatever scares me and sends me into a panic attack that somethings is wrongly or im dying... Its very scary and I hope you and I both fins relief. Good luck hun.
You might need to re read what I wrote. I think there was a misunderstanding
I can see why you worry and I am glad the doc is taking tests. Hopefully she will see if it is hereditary or just a exercise/diet change.
When you worry, try to do things that are heathly for you that distract you from your worry. I can see why you worry, but is it helpful?
Hang in there.
sorry Sammi, i got you mixed up with heidi. Think I need to go to bed. gnight 
Thanks. Costo is short for costochondritis. Its inflammation of the cartilage in your ribs by your sternum. And no i haven't been to a counsler. Im going to make an appt with one soon. Im just so busy at work. And yes i was close with my boss. So it kind of shocked me. Thanks again.
Yes me too. Anxiety is a pain. Makes us think of the worst and feel the worst. Hope you hwt everything situated.
