Someone please help, advise...
I've been having severe anxiety, which I think has been a build up of just rubbish things happening this year.
Over the last few weeks, I've had a dull ache in my left chest wall. It's not there all the time, and it doesn't hurt when I breathe, but I'm aware it's there. I have since convinced myself that in fact there is something wrong with my heart and it's making me panic so much. I have mentioned this to my Dr and he has listened to my heart and states it sounds absolutely normal and although he could send me for an ECG he really does not think there is any need too.
Anyway, my panic has gotten so much worse and for the last couple of days I've been getting really bad heartburn, hours after I've eaten, and even taking gaviscon etc, does not remove this for some time. So last night I had heartburn for hours, and I went to bed, convinced this was something to do with my heart. I even counted my heart beats before I went to bed.
In the night, a couple of times I woke up, sweating but with chills, my heart was pounding, my head was just not there at all, I had a pain in my jaw and I led there and just tried to tell myself that I'd be ok, and that I'd wake in the morning - which I did. I've never experienced night time attacks before, can someone please tell me, is this what I had in the night?
Today I feel absolutely shattered, my body aches and I just feel dire :weep:
