I have gone from barely caring about my health to looking up every damn symptom I have and sorry to say, but Dr Google and me have been seeing a lot of each other recently.
I have been having this horrible chest pain/ache/tightness (not sure how to describe!?) for months now and it feels like I can't breathe at times and I'm going to die. Have been to the GP but soon as they see I have anxiety they just dismiss me :(. I wouldn't mind if they just checked me out to make sure everything was okay to give me peace of mind but they won't and now EVERY symptom I have - headache, tingly arm, stomach pain and the list goes on...I am on google.
I can't accept it is anxiety as I'm trying everything to not be so anxious - CBT, exercise, healthy diet, distraction and trying to relax more and even going gluten and lactose free - nothing is working. Maybe I'm in denial? Just I've never heard of anyone having constant chest pain from anxiety?
Has anyone else had this constant horrible chest pain on the left hand side too?
Sorry for the ramble one panicky person thinking they are going to die in their sleep tonight, which I know is stupid...Especially as I've had this thing for months now...Just can't shake it off. I keep telling myself I've had this for months and it won't be anything serious, but then I'll look on the Daily Fail (entertainment purposes only, I swear!) and I'll read some story about a woman going to their GP, being told she had acid reflux and then dying the next day. Okay, I'm rambling again...Sorry, anxious.
