Hi all, hope progress is finding you well :) Hopefully someone can help me out here, this wiil be a long one, sorry...
Iv had HA since my first panic attack about 8 months ago, now my biggest fear is having a heart-attack. Since then Iv tried giving up smoking, failed a few times but in the last month Iv gone from 20-30 a day to 2-3 'half' roll-ups :)
In the last couple of weeks I keep getting pains in my chest at random, mostly while relaxing, right over the centre of my rib-cage, sometimes with matching pain in the centre of my uppper back.
Obviously, being me, I keep thinking 'here comes the heart attack' , but what else can cause this kind of pain? Any other insight to reassure me please???
One thing I have noticed is my heart doesnt speed up much, maybe 5-10bpm, would this be a good indicator of nothing major?
Thanks in advance :) this is driving me nuts!!!!! :curse:
