Hi,
I have the same worries, I get weird pains in chest and sometimes lightheadness and feel dizzy. I have had ecg, blood tests, extra. They came back normal, I get constant cramps in my leg also, have had them since March 2017 and still very sore as was diagnosed with Complex regional pain syndrome. All this raises my anxiety levels, i do have a drink to calm anxiety if show physical symptoms, i am also taking propranonol 60mg, I get overwhelmed easily, I am hoping to start more therapy soon.
Best thing I can say is if the tests come back normal, and doctors say your fine, it can just be anxiety. Try to tell yourself you are ok, dont let the anxiety get to you, i know easily said than done. I’m still trying to cope.
Anxiety can cause all sorts of symptoms, best advice i can
give is to try manage the anxiety.
I suggest going to a Cardiologist and to a therapist and that way you will get to the bottom of whatever is bothering you Brandon. Keep us posted!
