sharp

[bingjam]

I keep getting sharp pains where I think my heart is

they keep coming and going but its starting to make me panic

surley stabbing pains in my heart isnt good

do I need to ring an ambulance as im scared that im having a heart attack or somethings going to happen to my heart

its like right in the centre of my chest the 4th or 5th rib down

[James1983]

is the pain constant or getting more intense?

[bingjam]

no its not there constant its happened about 6 times and lasted no longer than 5 seconds

even when the pain isnt there I still feel some discomfort there, not sure if its because ive been prodding there since it happened or not

im freaking out

I dont want to google or I dont want to ring an ambulance and look stupid

I feel a panic attsck coming on

[James1983]

I would say its probably due to anxiety. If your brain is switched on to the chest area any sensation will cause you to worry. I get the same all anxiety related. If it was a heart attack it would get worse like a sledgehammer hitting you I have been told!

[bingjam]

the pain seems more constant now

please try to calm down. I've had a load of panic attacks today caused by the same sort of thing -stress causes my palpitations and I'm still here. I know how you feel I am the same

its where you are thinking about it. Please take some deep breaths and try to keep calm.

I have palpitations too

I feel so stupid but when something works me up I just cant help but panic, then as you can tell I canr stop talking or typing ..

so you think the pain is nothing

thanks for the replies by the way

[James1983]

your adrenaline is stimulating your vital organs and keeping the anxiety going. Please hang in there. Give it a minute and let me know.

that's fine I get the same way. I will do all I can to help. I am sure it is nothing to worry about.

no it would be more of a pressure pain. If you want a bit of peace of mind about your heart see your Dr. I've been had anxiety about my heart for nearly 5 years. I've had x-rays, ecg, ultra sound and all clear but I still worry. How do you feel now?

[Fishmanpa]

Bing... if it were a heart attack, you wouldn't be here typing and waiting for replies.

that's right you would not be able to move. Feel better?

[popejoan]

I also can be indigestion. I had severe irregular heartbeats 3-4 years ago it was a combination of indigestion, anxiety and stress. Hope you feel better soon

[Female healthanxiety]

Stop panicking is the first thing u need to do to try and make the pains feel better, unfortunately like many of us on here, we have a pain in that part and think oh no!

I have a heart anxiety and it's not nice!

But like Fishmanpa said you wouldn't be typing.

Anxiety does weird things to us physically, but you've got to find a way to not let it get you, easier said then done I know!

Try and make a cuppa, you may had something viral, slept bad, or it's just plain me monster anxiety.

Thanks for all your replies guys

I went for a walk with the occasional 2 second sprint just to test my heart and I'm still here

I guess I was worrying over nothing even though I am still getting the pains

I'm going through a lot of stress right now which is making me have palps and weird things going on...

Looking back At what I wrote earlier kinda embarrassed reading it back, god knows what goes through my head

Heart anxiety sucks, it makes me want to stay in the house

But yeah thanks again all xx
