Hiya,
I've had mild chest pain for about a month now, and because i have loads of anxiety and panic attacks (especially recently because of the pain) i felt worse and was worried it would be my heart.
I managed to pluck up the courage and call the doctor today, i've just got off the phone to her and she reassured me but now i'm questioning things she said.
I told her my symptoms (pain that moves around, arms ache, not short of breath, not bad pain) and she said it wasn't ringing any alarm bells with her and it didn't sound like angina because going for walks doesnt make it any worse.
She told me to relax and she said if the pain gets bad take some pain killers...
If it was heart related i wouldnt be told to take pain killers would i?
She's going to ring me back in a few days to see if i can have an appointment or a home visit. She didnt mention me going to the hospital though which was another main worry.
I'm just trying to relax now and calm down
love alison xx
