Last year after my 2nd daughter i was so worried about having a heart attack after having chest pain that woke me up. I was in a walking panic 24/7. I had a bunch of test and finally after meeting with one heart specialist the pain and fear just kinda diminished. Well now a little over a yr later ive had my 3rd daughter and i fear something is seriously wrong again. My mom just thinks its anxiety. Which it could be but bad stuff happens all the time. Its becoming unbearable its hard to focus on my children. I went to the drs because i thought it was temporal arteritis because my head hurt to touch. Now my neck is so stiff, ive had vision problems for months, my lower jaw is on and off tingly, pokes in fingers, and i have this random headache pains that come and go ever few seconds. Now in the last few days ive thought brain tumour, ms, temporal arteritis that the blood didnt pick up, but the one im stuck on now is a vertebral artery dissection, it says its the main cause of stroke in young adults and i had a mini stroke 6 yrs ago so im terrified. The dr wants me to get mri but afraid of getting contrast while breastfeeding. Could this just be anxiety again. Afraid of leaving my girls without a mom.
Awe sweetie I have the same type of issues for the last couple of months after chest pains started. I have had a bunch of tests and while my pains were real the conditions I was worried about weren't the conditions the doctor's actually found. I do have other things going in now to actually worry about but I have gotten my health anxiety under control a bit since then. I am still worried but I try to keep my mind busy on other things. I would mention your concerns to your doctor and see if there is anything to worry about. Hopefully they can help.
