Hi everyone,
Here's my latest worry. For the past few days I've been getting these weird pains in my chest. Sometimes they last a couple of seconds and sometimes 10 minutes. It's not agony, just uncomfortable. It's quite a vague feeling, I can't really put my finger on the location, it's just generally in the middle of my chest. It comes and goes at totally random times, when I'm sat down watching telly, led in bed, doing housework, anything really.
Obviously I'm worried sick that I'm on the verge of a heart attack and I could drop dead at any moment. I don't know if I should go the doctors. I have been in the past with anxiety/panic attacks and worries about my heart before as i used to get a lot of ectopics etc, so in a way I'm worried that they will just dismiss these chest pains as anxiety when it could be something more sinister. But at the same time I think oh my god, what if they actually said 'hmm yes that does sound worrying, lets do some tests...' well that would just scare the life out of me.
Don't know what to do, these pains just keep coming and going and every time I get one I think it must be heart related. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks :shrug:
