Hi, first time on this site and was hoping someone could help. Desperatley dont want to go to doctors as i am there all the time with one thing and another and everything always okay. I have always been an anxious person worrying about everything....but over the last 6months my health anxiety has completely taken over. Taking medication for depression and beta-blockers for anxiety but still cannot get on top of the irrational thoughts about my health. I automatically think the worst and now I have a pain in the middle of my chest just below my sternum, Its not a bad pain but I am now assuming that it is a problem with my heart. I feel slightly dizzy but this could be down to lack of sleep and anxiety!!! I am getting really fed up with feeling as though my next breath will be my last, tablets have helped a little. Whenever I go to the doctors they take my blood pressure which is fine, feel my pulse (strong and regular) but I do get pains occasionally in my chest and I am conscious that I am breathing which is a strange feeling!
Am I going mad,
