Hello everyone,
For the last 9 weeks my anxiety has been horrendous probs the worst it has been in years. I really am trying to fight my thoughts and say this is just anxiety etc but I’m failing. Started getting chest pains a while ago saw a cardiologist who told me my 14 day ecg was fine, my echocardiogram was fine and that my heart is fine except for a benign murmur. Anyway I have had constant upper stomach pain, I believe it’s the epigastric area right under my diaphragm. It feels tight, like a lump or knot is in there, sometimes it burns or it feels like your hungry but without the growling.
I’m really concerned that the tests on my heart haven’t spotted an issue and this pain is referred pain from my heart. My anxiety and ocd recently has obviously fixated on my heart and I can’t get the thoughts that I’m going to die of a heart attack or cardiac arrest out my head. Especially when this pain in my upper abdomen is there. Just feeling really scared and have been the last 9 weeks.
