Re: Heart anxiety leading to heart attack symptoms
Your anxiety about a condition can definitely manifest symptoms related to that condition. Don’t underestimate it or think it’s not real and “I must be sick” because psychosomatic symptoms are real. You ARE really feeling these pains. But they’re entirely created by the mind and your nervous system not by a medical condition.
I HIGHLY recommend a book called The Divided Mind by Dr John Sarno. I was completely unbelieving that the mind could do this until this doctor explained how it’s done. And he stressed that the symptoms are real, we are not going crazy. We feel everything we are complaining about. But there is no organic cause. He has treated many people with this condition.
Anxiety will convince you your worst fear is more than a thought.
The fact is you have had many tests for your heart and nothing has been found. I’m sorry about your father, do you know if he had the extensive heart testing that you’ve had?
