Hello guys,
my anxiety has been all over the place, from brain tumour worries to now heart related anxiety.
I've been in this state of nerves for a few weeks now...some days better than others. Today my bf and I went to the casino with a group of friends. On the way down I was fine, felt a bit nervous because I was scared something bad was going to happen (aka, heart attack). For the first hour I had this twinge feeling pain in my left shoulder going down half way of my left arm. It was on and off, and stopped totally after a little while. (This hasn't really happened before). I also felt some pain in both my collarbones and in my upper back.
I also experienced this chest sensation, where it feels like I have to burp, and sometimes I notice when I'm nervous I get this spasm sensation in the centre of my chest that takes my breath away at times and makes me jump due to the weird feeling and that it's pretty much out of nowhere. Now, some say palpitations, but I'm not sure as my heart rate doesn't change when the spasm happens. It usually comes and goes within seconds, and no pain is associated with it. It's just another worry to be put on my list. I've also begun a taking my pulse thing, it's usually between 73-88. When I'm out walking it goes up to 115. I really hope this is nothing to worry about. I can almost always feel my heart rate and I have noticed that it's typically faster than my boyfriends. :(
I do notice that when I get the spasms, I also have the feeling to burp and coughing helps it. The spasm doesn't MAKE me cough, I make myself cough so it can stop.
Please share your symptoms xx

I would also like to include that the spasm feeling almost feels like when certain spots on your body twitch. But this is inside, feels like in my esophagus. It's also mostly centred in my chest, more on the right side.
