hello everyone,
first off, Merry Christmas :). I am writing to enquire about the possibility of health anxiety causing angina like symptoms. I have been told that the mind is a very powerful thing an cause any symptom. I do have panic disorder but my question today is about the potential of an underlying problem causing this. At times, I get heart pains completely out of the blue, sometimes if I move to quick, sometimes after I eat but what has worried me most recently is the fact I get chest discomfort in the cold weather that comes and goes. I am aware that cold weather can trigger angina so I have become paranoid about this. I have been to the docs and had ECG echo and blood tests which were clear and they seem convinced it's anxiety. I can accept this to some degree as I have panic attacks occasionally, but the triggers of my heart pain worry me. sometimes il have it after I eat, sometimes if I walking up a hill and just massive pains that come out of the blue. I will admit I have researched symptoms a lot and do display hypochondriac traits. is it possible that my mind could trick me this much ? . I just find it hard to believe that anxiety can cause chest pain in cold weather , after food etc and just triggers that seem to indicate cardiac problems. could this all be down to anxiety and lack of fitness?.
hope you have a great Xmas guys.
