[phil0910]

My health anxiety started few months back with chest pains and got anxious about my heart kept taking pulse etc im 24 yr old female dont smoke or drink.
Have had following tests
numerous ecgs
blood tests for fbc liver thyroid celiac etc
2 stool samples not sure what first was for but second for h poly
chest xray
24 hr heart monitor

its been 7 months since started im still here and all tests clear but think my problem related to stomach as i have ibs
symptons are
Tight chest all times esp under left breast
Brown mucus in stools
really tired
get out of breathe easy
feel jittery and panicky
heart races all morn


i know seems like anxiety and doc put me in tablets but when do i draw line and say all anxiety and when should i stop looking for reasons.

Guess confuaed as had ibs few years never been this bad.

Thanks

Hi Phil I feel for you I really do.

I have been going through pretty much the same thing. My anxiety all started with chest pains, mainly on the left side, but I had them in various different places.

Ranging from dull aching pains, to stabbing pains, every different chest pain ive had it. Ive had an ECG and blood test but not the other tests.

I am starting to think it is something to do with my stomach aswell. Sometimes I think how can my chest be hurting when my stomach is much lower though. Its just so hard to ignore the pains when they are in the area where your heart is.

Your symptoms do seem like anxiety symptoms. Has your doctor suggested counselling? :hugs:
