Hi all,
It's been a long time since I've posted after my last one in November last year but I really need some advice before I go out of my head.
For weeks now I've had weird chest sensations and become utterly paranoid about them 24/7, I'm convinced I've given myself heart disease or heart failure or maybe emphezema/lung cancer from months of binge eating (after previously losing 5 stone).
I've added up all the symptoms, tiredness, weird aches and pains, light headedness, paranoia and can't be bothered attitude now and on top of the chest sensations I'm convinced I'm dying of something life threatening at the old age of 25!
My friends haven't helped by saying go to A&E as you don't know what's happening and the prospect sent me into a full blown panic attack. My resting heart rate (which strangely doesn't usually go up with anxiety) is 59-61 which I've been told is excellent?
Can someone please give some kind of reassurance it is anxiety as with all these symptoms, you really do struggle believing can it really just be anxiety?
