Hey, im 19 years old and I had an anxiety attack once out of no where. Since than ive been always focusing on my heart. Once it starts beating fast I think im going to die and its followed by another anxiety attack. I can usually stop them from getting excessive but I want to know that im not alone. Thanks

You're not alone my dear, I get like it with most things when it comes to anxiety.
I had a bad back last week, managed to persuade myself it was lymphoma and the glands in my back were so swollen they were pushing on nerves, anyway when I worried and thought about it more, the pain would get excruciating, but then I'd be sat there for an hour and think "wait, the back pain has gone, I've forgot about it and its gone" and it would get worse and worse again because I was thinking about it!

You're having probably the most common effect of anxiety :)
