Hi Lisa

Welcome to NMP.

I know exactly how you feel with the heart, because I'm exactly the same & with my breathing too. It has again taken over my thoughts nearly every single minute of the day as soon as I wake up. I don't have an answer Lisa, I wish I did.

We're all here to help each other & give advice when we can. Or just to know you're not alone in your feelings.

Yep you'll be here next week! I have written some stuff about the heart. It really is an amazing powerful organ .... check out some of my posts and maybe that will give you some insight.

Actually it's the strongest most amazing organ in the body except for the Liver which can regenerate itself. Noticed I left of the brain as being amazing, mine doesn't work right lol .... just a little joke there.

Hope you feel better. Which you will.

Are you on any medication? Like beta-blockers? They might greatly benefit you. Go to you GP and talk about having these 'attacks', they're horrible to deal with, it's best you do something about them. If you're hyperventilating try breathing exercises or breathing in and out a paper bag.

I hope you haven't heard all this before. And hope you feel better hun X

Hi

I know exactly how you feel. I am going through it at the minute. In 2007 I thought I had a heart problem and I went to AE on two occasions to the doctors numerous times and went to see a cardiologist who referred me for further tests. The tests came back clear and I was told to stop worrying about my heart. Now 2 years on I still have this fear and time I cant help thinking that I could have as it was two years ago that I had my tests.

I have tightness in my chest which comes and goes randomly. Pains in my side or my back which come and go. The only thing that keeps me sane is the fact that I have had a number of tests 2 years ago after very similar symptoms.

I am sitting here typing away while having all these pains in my chest. I feel that when I grasp the skin on my chest or massage the front of my chest it seems to go for a while which also adds to my reactive mind.

I now find going to the doctors and or medical profession much more stressful than the symptoms themselves.


I will read drummermikes threads next to make me feel better.

Take care
