It started around my exams about two weeks ago. I was walking to college, then on came the most awful chest pains. They was very quick, but with each one (about three in the space of 10 minutes) I felt very dizzy. Ever since then, I've had periods of palpitations, chest pains, and also chest pains that almost feel like palpitations and feel like they travel up my throat. I find that yes anxiety can make them worse, along with being even the slightest physically or mentally active. I notice the more I just stay in bed the less they occur. I've also noticed that laying down can make them worse.
I've had three ECG's done this year and an echocardiogram, all were done more than four or five months ago so none with the recent bout of chest pains and palpitations. I'm just so worried despite of this, that there is something wrong with my heart which is causing these palpitations and chest pains :(
I'm just really worried and I'm so fed up with feeling like this constantly for the last few weeks. I don't even feel anxious, THEN I get a pain in my chest and then I start feeling anxious!
I've had CBT but that did not work. I'm seeing the doctor tomorrow to ask her what these palpitations and chest pains are about. I hope she says it is just anxiety :(
