I had an awful panic attack last night.

Arm pain, chest pain. Because I have been worried about having a heart attack. This has been happening for a week now. Somewhere logically I know that by now if this was heart related I would have had a heart attack by now for sure.

I know how you feel, although yours seem to be more severe than mine right now.

There is no advice anyone can give you really, except carry on with whatever treatment you are having due to your anxiety. Those tests don't miss anything, I know that because I work in the Emergency Department often and when it comes to chest and arm pain we take every single case seriously. If there was any damage to your heart they would have found it.

You are 25, your heart has not had time to get any damage. There is no underlying heart condition you were born with, because they would have found it.

I am kind of where you are now though so it might reassure you to know that someone else was up last night crying over pain that was probably simply caused by anxiety.

Cardiacprofessional responded to one of your posts last night, why don't you try private message them to see if they can offer reassurance if they are available, your post was moved to the another forum, but if you look at that you'll see they offered you support.

Hi there,

First, sit down, get a glass of water and breathe slowly. You've got so wound up you're not thinking clearly.
Second, all those tests and doctors' opinions? It's anxiety. Absolutely.
Third, and here's the tough question we all have to ask ourselves now and again: do you want to look back in 10 years' time and regret all the things you missed out on because of worrying about something which is highly unlikely to happen? I could die of a heart attack tomorrow. It's unlikely but not impossible. If it happens, at least I didn't spend years worrying about it and I enjoyed myself as best I could.

Now I know that's simplistic but the real key is to ask for help if you need it, not for reassurance about your symptoms. We're all happy to share what works for us and you have your professional help to turn to. Next time you see them don't ask about your heart symptoms, ask how you can work together to relieve the anxiety about your heart symptoms.

We all have ups and downs - you will get through it. Just don't let it take any more time away from you.

Good luck

Hi there!

As weird as it sounds, you can choose whether to let it affect you or not. You can overcome it by determination to lead a full life but it takes a lot of work to get there. Have a think about it and about some things you could do differently.

I'm always here to help..

Pip... that's not weird at all!... In fact, it's the absolute KEY to beating anxiety and worry. We make a conscious choice to allow our worries to affect and influence us in spike of all logic and rationality. It truly is a decision we make. The same decision we make concerning treatment or meds.

that is true I look at it and feel its unsafe to not worry
