Hi,
I'm new to the forum but a little about my history. In 25 been for the last 2 years if not more getting pains in my chest intermittently. It's comes and goes but is there more often than not and it has had me admitted to a&e several times.
I have seen my local gp a handful of times but all I get is attached to an ECG have a blood test then he gives me a leaflet in panic attacks.
My symptoms vary but it's generally a sharp pain in my chest or a continuous dull ache. When I am doing nothing I notice it more and at times think about it so much I actually think I'm at the early stages of a heart attack. I don't hyperventilate or fight to breathe but at times I get a foggy head and feel as if I may pass out. I have a habit of checking my pulse when I start to get these pains. I experience palpitations but they don't really bother me to be honest.
I just do not no if it is panic attacks or there is something underlining which gives me the pains that then cause an attack. I am fit and healthy I go gym 5 x a week (as long as my chest is not playing up) and I eat healthy except the odd weekend. I don't smoke and I drink once in a blue moon.
My question is I suppose has any experience just a chest pain with little or no other symptoms on such a regular occurrence and it just be panic attacks/anxiety?
