Re: Heart Health Anxiety.... Again

However sometimes lately I've noticed when I get them I get like a tingling zappy sensation in my arms or across my chest. So now I'm freaking out I've got some undiagnosed condition.
I've literally just sat here working on the sofa, had a palpitation and got tingling down both arms and in my head. Then felt really hot and sick. Have also thrown up since.
I will say that since that footballer collapsed Saturday my heart anxiety has gone through the roof again so could it just be that subconsciously playing on my mind? Or should I get my heart checked again?
There appears to be connection to Eriksen's cardiac arrest. You may have seen several threads of the same nature? So I'd say that this sounds very much like anxiety - even throwing up - which I've done numerous times with mine. Yes, our thoughts can absolutely cause these symptoms (stress response), but if chest symptoms are new for you, and you haven't experienced this before with your anxiety, then it's common sense to get checked out by your GP.
