I have heart palpitations and skipped beats which I've spoke about before. I have just woke up to a star burning pain in the right side of my chest/breast. My panic as in and of course I thought heart attack. My husband says heartburn or gas. I just hate this why can't I just think like normal people. Now lying here scared to get ready for work in case it brings on more pain.
Hi,
This is where the problem lies, if you have been given the all clear heart wise, true heart pain is painful, anxiety is only uncomfortable, It's only natural in a sensitised state to think the worst in what ever area you are feeling uncomfortable, in your case your heart, palpitations and skipped heart beats aren't painful unless you have an actual heart problem, like an arrhythmia, bundle branch blocks etc etc which is detectable on an ECG.
Our bodies are so sensitised and we have taught ourselves to think the worst, it's only natural. If you have moderate to severe chest pain you should be calling an ambulance for immediate assistance , better to be safe than sorry.
