Okay, since I've joined this board, all of my posts have been about my heart so I'm pretty sure that anxiety is playing a role in what is now happening. But Its a new symptom and I'm scared.
Since last Friday at least, I've been having pressure and tightness in my chest around my heart. It radiates to below my ribcage. I only feel it really when Im' still, especially at night. Moving around actually helps it.
I am so scared that I am having the beginnings of a heart attack. I can't stop obsessing about it. I was crying on the phone with my stepmom last night (lucky for me we are close!) and she thinks its Acid Reflux and anxiety.
Does anyone else get the pressure in your chest? I wouldn't call it pain really, just squeezing (which is what google says is a HEART ATTACK). I pulled or pinched a muscle in my back last week and I also started a new diet. I started eating vegi-patty sandwiches daily. Maybe the food changes? I know my doctor isn't going to think its serious, it's always blamed on my health anxiety. This pressure is real though, its not in my head.
Just scared and bouncing around my thoughts.
