Hey everyone I'm new to this site but I figured I'd give it a shot, about 3 weeks ago someone really close to me passed away from an assumed heart attack, since then I have been feeling chest pain and all other kinds of symptoms that have to do with cardiac issues. I went and got checked out with an EKG and everything came out fine and after explaining the loss of that person the doctor said that it was most likely anxiety, lately I haven't had any panic attacks related to it but I still feel slight physical symptoms and I was just wondering if anyone else has felt the same
Hey kyler, I ain't no doctor or anything but may I be the first to say welcome to the club, well there isn't a club so to say but anxiety it gets people in so many ways, chest pain and funny chest feelings are well in the top ten symptoms. I have chest pains, stabbing pains and palpitations everyday I used to be very concerned about my heart and I also went to the hospital countless times and it always came back anxiety related. Worst thing you can ever do is Google anything never do that ever ever. And just try to relax and take some time out get some head space and relax. A no where near a professional with all this anxiety but I know the basics. Learn about anxiety and the ways it can effect you and you might get a better understanding why things happen.
Thanks a ton for your reply, just knowing that someone else understands makes me feel better already! I do have the issue where I Google too many things but I have been working on it!
Yeah Google is never a good idea it's like petrol on a bonfire, doesn't help at all. But anxiety is such a funny illness to suffer with, it gets everyone in a ton of different ways. But I am the same I can read some thing or see somthing on TV and I kid you not I start getting half of the symptoms haha, health anxiety kicks in for me when my anxiety and depression is bad. Like over Christmas time for me was so bad I was literally struggling to get out of bed. Now I have had a good month that's just past but now I am slipping back down its strange how it comes and goes for some people it sure is a slippery slope. But my advice understand it more and learn more about it. If that doesn't help get to see your G. P and maybe he can arrange some help for you like talking therapy and so on. Do let us know how you get on. And if you ever need any assurance this forum is great and there is some great people on here to help you through stuff.
At this time i am writing to you i have heart condition and anxiety. Last 3 year i am in this. But dr said i have anxiety but i say heart problem. You believe on doctor because they are qualified. Be brave. Stay blessed
