So it all started about a month and a half ago when I was at the movies with my girlfriend. When it got towards the end of the movie, out of nowhere I noticed my heart was beating extremely fast... I started to feel a little nervous obviously, and when the movie ended and we got out of the theatre I was absolutely floored with dizziness.. The bright mall lights seemed to make it worse... By this point I was in absolute panic.. I was sure I was going to die at that point... I kept pacing up and down around the mall, and my girlfriend started getting worried naturally... I told her I wasn't feeling good and went outside the mall to see if breathing in some fresh air would help.. I didn't.. My heart felt like it was going to explode at any moment from how fast it was beating... I saw a security guard outside and told him I wasn't feeling well.. he called the ambulance and they took me to the ER.. When I got there, they took my blood pressure and put this thingy in my finger that measured my heart rate.. the doctor just brushed me off as being anxious and "in a nervous state" and told me that once I calmed down it would go away.. After that I calmed down a little, my hear rate slowly went back to normal and I felt better...
Unfortunately, ever since that day on February 25th, 2012 I haven't felt the same.. Everyday I'm constantly tense... I constantly experience fast heart rate, dizziness, sweaty palms, derealization, nausea, palpitations, fatigue, lump in the throat and more unorthodox symptoms like constipation and a tickly feeling in the throat.. Everyday I feel like I'm going to die and I'm sick of it.. I worry myself sick that I could die at any moment from a heart attack even though I'm only 19 years old, not obese, not diabetic, and have no family history of heart disease...
Can anyone reassure me that this is all in my head and anxiety? I keep telling myself that this is all psychological but there's always the creeping worry that it could be heart disease.. I'm sick of worrying! I just want my life to go back to normal again.
