I'm the same way. I always feel twinges in my chest area, maybe a shooting pain once in a while, and a discomfort after I eat sometimes. I always feel like something isn't right.

I also had an ecg done and was fine.

If your peers feel the same things and are fine, and your doctors tell you you're fine, then you need to half the comfort of knowing that things are okay.

Unfortunately I'm the same way, Lisa. For example, I got this little bump on my tummy that has gotten me so depressed thinking that I'm going to eventually come down with cancer or something. It sucks to have these negative vibes.

And guess what? I too get depressed or sad thinking about the future because people like you and I live everyday knowing that our life is going to be cut short one way or another.

But that's not the way to go about it. We need to realize that we are healthy, and sure we have some anxiety, but we will be around for a long, long time. :)

Lisa:hugs:

I think I posted something similar here before about this.

Many years ago, I had the exact fear as you and I thought I was going to have a heart attack simply because of the shooting pains I was getting, in my chest and arms, I was convinced I was going to have it at any moment. I had an ECG as well, all came fine even though my pulse was going like the clappers and I was out of breath, I was just merely having a Panic Attack brought on by my fears. This went on for about a year until I finally realised there was nothing wrong, the pains went away. They will with you too:hugs:
