Chest pain

[Phoenixess]

That’s really good your chest pain has gone, how long did you have pain for.
I am trying to work on my anxiety.

A good six months

Thank you

I have most definitely not fallen into the safe “Sick Role “, some of your posts come across as being so “Superior”.
You know nothing about me , other then my HA and posts on here.
I have tried my best to overcome my anxiety and at times have managed.
I have had lots of therapy and will continue.
I KNOW THAT LIVING WITH HEALTH ANXIETY IS NOT A GOOD LIFE ...

All I'm saying is your self examination habits/rituals and addiction to reassurance and posting is self defeating and detrimental to your recovery but what do I know

Positive thoughts

I still keep getting chest pain on and off, it’s been two months now!
Had ecg 5 weeks ago that was normal.
Chest muscles often go into spasm at night, Really scary.
Often get upper back pain and some rib pain, chest pain is central and on right side.
Im trying to believe this is muscular.
Cant go to hospital as isolating due to living with elderly parents.
Please can someone respond.
Having cbt , but it’s now over the phone ..

If you think it’s a heart attack you go to the hospital otherwise you respect the pressure A and E are under and the fact that doctors are dealing with a terrible situation.
It has been colder recently and that can trigger muscular chest pain.
What is your worst fear your chest pain is caused by?

I’m worried it’s my heart. Pain feels like it’s in my sternum and is worse when I move.
Im trying to be rational and think this is probably muscular.

I think your female like me?
If the pain is anywhere above your nipple or upper half of your breast upwards it’s impossible to be your heart (or anywhere around that area imagine drawing a line across your chest if you get the image! Heart pain is more or less pretty central crushing and you wouldn’t be questioning it (you wouldn’t be doing anything if it was your heart)
Do a poster on your wall with heart attack facts or what ever your concerns are and realise it’s not that.
Equally if it was that what can you do about it?
My mum currently has a life threatening problem and the hospitals can’t do anything their hands are tied with COVID so even if it was your heart what can you do?
Either try to accept it is your heart and your still alive or it isn’t your heart and try to enjoy yourself!
We are lucky to be alive!
Let’s live and focus on that!
(Really not trying to sound harsh but I cannot describe how difficult I found chest pain/heart anxiety I lost 6 months of my life and thought it would never return due to my fears and anxiety I regret not letting it go sooner don’t make the same mistake as me)

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.
