aaaand back to the heart..

Last night I had probably my worst episode of panic in a year. I thought I was going to die there and then. I felt a sort of acid reflux in my stomach come up to my chest and thought 'hmmm weird'. For some reason I just googled 'heart attack symptoms' and before you know it I was panicing with chest pressure, short brrath , pacing around and feeling like my heart was going to give in. I got in the shower and couldn't control myself still. Luckily my girlfriend was amazing with this (since I confined in her with my problems) and was an astonishing help. But I can't help but feel I should go to the doctors to rule out further problems?

I wouldn't necessarily say I had any pains in my chest at all it was just extremely mild heart burn but the feeling was uncomfortable because it made me extremely tense

Ive had the same thing bro like 5 weeks ago.

Started to have chest pain while looking up at some websites on computer and as soon as it got my attention, i started to freak and it wouldn't go away. Since I'm cardiophobia, the first thing that went through my mind was a heart attack. I really started to freakout and ended in the ER to get told i have nothing.

Do you think often about your heart health? are you an anxious person in general? if thats the case, what i suggest you is to lay down on bed, close your eyes and breathe calmly. I am more than sure that you are ok, specially given your age. Is there any history in your family of hd?

Grandad has angina. I skip from condition to condition really to be honest. One month brain tumours the next it will be a panic attack where I focus on my heart and I'll worry 100% that I'm having a heart attack. I had my mum ring an ambulance about 15 months ago for an episode I had and they told me it was just a panic attack. Its always hard to differentiate the two though.
