Hey I'm Chris I'm a 20 year old male that plays basketball I've recently for the past 2 months had shortness of breath from time to time and chest pains that vary in diffent parts of my body sometimes even my lower stomach and also I have heart palpitations. I don't smoke drink or anything like that. I went to the doctor to see if I had any heart problems because from searching some of my symptoms on google that's what I thought it would be. I got an body x-ray & a ECG two times, my blood pressure is considered normal & got a blood test. After I got my results back from it all they said I was in good health, have no signs of nothing serious like a heart attack or anything like that and that it might be just anxiety and gave me some pills after that things got better for me for like a week but I still have heart palpitations and now sometimes I feel tightness or some blocklage type feeling in my chest like it's hard for me to breath sometimes and being a basketball player I'm scared if I keep playing and going to workouts that I might die from an enlarged heart even tho my doctor told me I am in good health I still worry that I'm not. Can anybody help me with some advice? I thank you in advance cause I have been worried sick
Did you have mono or the flu recently? And yes anxiety can do such crazy things.once your mind gets fixated on sometimes the body happily responds which is incredibly frustrating,
No not at all & I figured it can it drives me so crazy I honestly believe it's all in my mind I might just have to ignore it.
Get yourself an anxiety workbook. This needs to be done correctly. You wont be able to ignore it. Thats the wrong way to deal with it. It doesnt work. You want to manage it.
Oh do you know where I can locate an anxiety workbook at?
Hello Chris.
You mentioned in your post that the "doctor gave you some pills" have you been prescribed Beta Blockers by your doctor ?
No they weren't those they were called "Indomethacin"
Hi Chris.
How are you feeling today, have you had any more chest pains at all ?
no not yet but normally it gets ready to come around this time
