Hi everyone
I ve suffered from panic attacks and generalised anxiety for years and have managed to overcome some of it but have terrible phobia of heart disease. I did see a phychologist for 3 months and he says it stems from my grans death from heart attack when i was 12 i was with her on my own ,but it is depressing and debilitating to be constantly checking my heartbeat and if it skips a beat it can bring on a panic attack i would love to be normal :roflmao:

Hi honeypie,

I suffered from something pretty similiar when I was younger, everytime I felt a twinge in my chest I thought I was going to have a heart attack:weep:.

I know what your going through can't be nice and I can't say I rember how I got over my problem. Maybe you just have to challenge your thinking and learn to appreciate that thinking about heart problems is unhelpful?

I am sure there are others on the site with far more wisdom than I, so hopefully they can give you the support you need

Have a great 2009:yesyes:
