I've been suffering for a week with a tight chest. I have had this checked out by the doc and had a ecg. He was happy with results, so put in down to anxiety, which is what i thought anyway. But did say come back if i get it again, which i have but don't want to go back!!
Since then over the past couple of days i have been feeling better. i've still been getting the tightness, but it's not been anywhere near as bad and i find i can get rid of it by stretching and relaxing. It's gone at night now, so i'm sleeping much better. This must be a good sign - isn't it??!! But i'm finding now that i've got a bit of pressure in my throat. It's not painful but just there, if that makes sense!!
I go through feelings of, it's all just anxiety and nothing wrong with me, to, i'm going to have a heart attack and i need to get immediate help!
I sound crazy, but i'm hoping to get some advice/reassurance from others who have experienced what I'm experiencing.
I'm assuming an ecg is very accurate?!!!
Sorry for such a long message!!:wacko:
