I also have chest pains and palpitations which completely freak me out, doc says its muscular skeletal though not that it reassures me!!
Hello Fred,
I am sorry you are suffering so much - health anxiety is a horrible condition, which is difficult to cope with.
I think one of the best treatments is cbt - talking therapy - which helps to change negative thought patterns. It would be worthwhile asking your doctor about this therapy, and see if he can recommend a good counsellor.:hugs:
