I've had anxiety for some time now, but the physical symptoms are still new to me. Fall and Winter was really tough because I was convinced I had heart problems, so the physical symptoms of the anxiety (of course) mimicked heart problems. I was having palpitations, rapid heart beats, chest pain, etc.
Eventually, after many tests, it calmed down because I realized I was fine.
Just a few seconds ago, out of nowhere, it felt like my heart dropped. I can only compare it to the feeling of going down a sudden drop on a roller coaster.
Is this a mini panic attack?
Nothing was really stressing me out at the moment other than thinking about my daughter's upcoming ear tube placement, but it didn't seem to be severe stress.
Where did that come from?
Of course, because I have health anxiety, I assume I'm having a heart attack or asthma attack. The asthma is new and I'd say it's an ongoing form of anxiety for me, but I wasn't thinking about it before that heart drop sensation occurred.
