Today

[Greg1983]

I feel really anxious that i'm going to have a heart attack or to just drop down dead at any moment.

I know my heart is fine as i have had an ECG and my blood pressure have been checked, my blood was even checked and it was above normal.

So why do i keep thinking this? I have an appiontment for the doctors later today, about another problem. I have convinced myself that i'm going to have a heart attack and keep getting pains in my chest (maybe linked). My chest keeps going tight, i also get heart palpertations.

It is really doing my head in now - i was fine at the weekend, when i was in London, i had passing thoughts but was able to forget them.

Went to the doctors yesterday, doctor told me that i'm fit and healthy, she said the pains were in my head. I was not having a heart attack and that i should not be thinking about this, as it isn't affecting me.

So i was fine till about 30 mins ago, when i got a pain in my chest, well its underneath my collor bone to thw right of my neck. Which has sent me into panic stations again. convinced that it is a heart attack i am.

Sick being like this - Doctor has told me it aint my heart, why can't i accept that?
