Hi all,
I'm a 5'9", 130lb, 20 year old man and I stay active and exercise a few times a week. My diet as of recently is pretty bad though.
I'm scared I'm going to have a heart attack.
It started last night when I felt a pain in my left forearm, my anxious mind told me heart attack, and my rational mind said it was nothing. Then about a minute after that forearm pain I felt a sudden pain by my sternum on the right side. I then went into full panic mode and convince myself I was having a heart attack and I was going to die. My chest felt tight, and hurt but I was able to calm down and go to bed.
However this morning I noticed that my chest still feels tight, heavy, and painful. I've also had pains where my heart is. I find it a little more hard to breathe too. And whenever I feel any sensation in my left arm I start to have a panic attack again.
I know these are all symptoms of a panic attack and anxiety but it's impossible for me to calm down.
Does anyone have any suggestions for helpful advice? Thank you.
