sometimes I get a chest pain that feels like it is right on my heart, so I am worried that I have some sort of life threatening condition.
When the chest pain strikes it is usually when I am sitting down (exercise has no effect on it and I do a lot of it) and only lasts 5 seconds at most, but it scares the hell out of me. I have quite bad anxiety and am on medication for slight acid reflux, although this does not feel like heart burn. I also have slightly strange circulation to my extremities recently, ie. they go a bit blotchy and get cold easily and am worried it is all liked like heart failure or something. I have been to the doctor many times whom has done blood tests, listened to my heart and a chest X-ray, although says there is no point in an ekg. The only worrying result was a blood pressure of 145/83 or something which terriefied me enough to buy a blood pressure machine, at home I still get highish readings of around the 134/75 mark, sometimes higher sometimes lower. Please help, I am so worried.
Thanks Nick
