Often when I feel stressed I have discomfort in my chest, back or left arm. I have seen a cardiologist in the past and recently my general practitioner. I am told I am in the lowest risk category for heart disease currently even though my cholesterol is a little high currently. I am beginning to exercise more regularly and am improving my diet. I continue to worry each time I have an ache or pain on my left side that something is wrong with my heart or arteries. I do have general anxiety and take medicine daily, which helps. I just get so concerned whenever I have these symptoms, especially when they follow a stressful moment. Any advice for how people handle this themselves is appreciated. I am a mom of two young children and just want to enjoy my life and stop worrying so much!
