Hello ther I’m 16 years of age suffering with health anxiety everyday my left hand/arm hurts and left breast/heart I feel like I’m soon going to have a heart attack.I try to tell myself it’s all in my head but when the pain doesn’t go away it’s hard to think that way. I’ve been to the doctors they say my heart is fine that I’m healthy and the thing is It started when I searched up on google why my left arm hurts it said heart attack and since then I’ve been feeling worse pain in my left arm then slowly moved to my heart and shoulder . I’m really convinced that a heart attack is coming soon somone please help I’m young.
Calm down!! You have to listen to the doctors, I know it's not easy but you've been checked and they said you are fine.
Physical symptoms with anxiety/nervousness can vary greatly and can be quite scary. I've had chest pains so bad that it hurt to laugh, my arms went numb and I freaked out and thought I was having a heart attack. I went to Dr and had an EKG and there was nothing wrong. Once I realized it was my anxiety, and calmed down, the symptoms subsided and haven't had them since.
You have to realize there is absolutely no certainty to your thoughts, they are just thoughts! Just bc you FEEL like you are dying does not mean you are. The only certain thing would be to be checked by a professional and you have been and they said you're fine - so don't let your worries get the better of you!!
This is 100% anxiety taking over your thought process
If you have been to the doctors or hospital and they tell you your fine then your fine
They know believe me
It’s hard I know to settle the thoughts
You need to work on the cause of your anxiety
Do you know what triggers your anxiety ?
Anxiety can cause so many different symptoms tight chest pain in the arms etc
The mind is a powerful tool if it’s not functioning correctly it can cause anxiety
Don’t worry have you tried therapy to find the underlining problem ?
