hi I have been for a good jog im starting to jog further etc than when I first started this should tell me theres nothing wrong with my cardio system

yet when im with my daughter or on my own In the still of the night i sit there agitated sort of scanning my vitals which ofcourse starts off the jolts chest pain increased heart rate FEAR etc

I don't know why I do this as it makes me totally unhappy I think its the fact I get symptoms that match up with a critical illness but nothing ever happens

I cant quite understand why im doing this ? its been going on for quite a while now and I feel like groundhog day

Who knows why our thoughts go this way. It's a vicious cycle - anxiety sets off the palpitations/increased heart rate which then causes us anxiety about being ill.

Have you spoken to your GP about it?
