Hi. 

21 soon to be 22 year old female experiencing what my doctor says is panic attacks. I’ve had 2 tracing of the hears and a 7 day ecg fitted and everything came back normal. I have had endless amount of blood tests and a chest X-ray which all also came back fine. My anxiety has been fine for about 1/2 months now until tonight. Nothing triggered it off I came over very spaced out followed by a couple of heart palpitations (which panic me anyway) I then started feeling very light headed so sat down. I will be going to the doctor as this is possibly the worst I’ve Experienced this. Just want to know if anyone else feels this way with anxiety? Surely my bloods/ecg/chest X-ray would of picked something up ... but of course the anxiety kicks in and I think “what if they have missed something” it’s such a vicious circle. Just when you think your okay then your right back to where you started sad

You need to understand asking for the same tests over and over again could cause you health problem. You now need to understand you have been given results that show you are healthy. Understand you are beginning to understand you are fine, nothing to worry about you need to move on. Trust your GP, Technicians and Hospital Doctors who have checked you out. They would not lie to you when they say you are ok, you are OK, live with that.

Talk with your GP and see if He will introduce a treatment plan so you can learn to address your health fears.

Not worry I have been dealing with the same problem for over a year now and I have had procedures done which they check my alteriers and my heart to see if I had any blockage and nothing my doctor tell me not to worry about it if it was something they would have seen it .. just try and stay calm and not get over excited .. it will be ok

Hi

thank you for your reply, I have been to see my doctor today. I am having a 24hr ecg put on next week and a full blood count. My doctor said if this all comes back fine it is more than likely to be my anxiety and if it is I will feel like such an idiot for wasting their time ☹️

Hi Yvette,

Thank you your reply back to me I have been to see my doctor today. I am having a 24hr ecg put on next week (Thursday) and a full blood count done, again. My doctor said if this all comes back fine it is more than likely to be my anxiety and if it is I will feel like such an idiot for wasting their time ☹️

I just wish I knew how to calm down and not get so stressed. I am still on the waiting list for therapy as I personally don’t want to take medication for my anxiety as I do believe I can manage without. It’s just the thoughts and the fear that I hate. Every panic/anxiety attack is different which worries me as I think this didn’t happen last time surely there’s got to be something wrong now...
