Chest pain

[Phoenixess]

I’m sorry to hear about your mum.
I am trying to tell myself that if it was a heart attack I wouldn’t be able to walk up and down the stairs like I am.
With the corona virus everything is heightened, I wouldn’t go to a and e.

If it was a heart attack you wouldn’t be standing. Look at it like that?

Did you find your chest muscles use to go into spasm, especially at night.

Mine went into spasms all the time but evenings were defiantly worse last week I cried for two hours in fear and pain but now I try to ignore it.
Look up costcochontritis I believe that is what I have been having also try rubbing your shoulders because sometimes the pain radiates from there.
Also move your neck see how tight your neck muscles are and it may seem a odd one but how many pillows do you sleep with and do you sleep on your side or your back?

I sleep on my stomach. I have tried to sleep on my back, but that makes the pain worse.

Sleeping on your stomach is the most dangerous way to sleep for anyone with any type of heart problem

Had bad chest pain last night, took a small dose of codeine and have woken up feeling sick.
Now thinking I must of had a heart attack, pain is a bit better .
Really Scared !

Believe me I’m not disappointed, just scared. I know you have suffered from chest pain and was worried about your heart !
I care and live with elderly parents , so have to stay in.

You said “I must have had a heart attack” that’s what I was referring to fear of having one and believing you had one are different.
All I meant was if you had had one you wouldn’t be telling us about it. And hoped that might reassure you it wasn’t one.

I have offered my advice as I have seen/similarities in the fear and how it perpetuates and controlled my mind all the advice and tips I offered helped me. Perhaps you need to use some online cbt tools to develop your thoughts and reassurance for when these times happen.
Good luck!
