Thanks for that ......I have already told him about my chest pains thats what started all this when I first went to see him ...even took myself to a and e last feb which is very unlike me but I was convinced there was something wrong with my heart :( I have a constant fear of that above all else every time I get a chest pain :weep: Does anyone else feel like this ???

Hi Jo......Yes, I feel like that, the slightest twinge and I am convinced I am going to have a heart attack or something!! But I have read so much about this, and it is just anxiety...no matter how badly our brains try and tell us otherwise, It is!! Chest pains connected to a heart attack, come a couple of minutes before a heart attack, so if after 30mins you are heart attack free you're gonna be ok.
That's what I try and tell myself, I find it helps!!.......just find something else to take your mind of the pains, i know that's easier said than done.....but I will get stuck in to the ironing, or washing up or something xx I hope you feel better soon xx

I get the same thing. You finally feel ok then you get a twang or a pain and you feel so anxious again. It's such an annoying cycle :(.
