A big setback

[Kevin160]

My migraine attack today set me back many steps in regards of my mental health

I was dealing well with the anxiety , but today after the migraine attack my heart kept palpitating and felt painfully squeezing if that makes sense, thats the first time this happens and my health anxiety is really taking a hit as a result , im scared to do anything as a result , i have this constant thought that my heart is damaged , everyone around me doesnt want me to seek help and say its in my head and im fine ..Yes i could be fine but am i sure ?

I really need a cardiologist, neurologist to be at ease but im not sure when that can happen

What's holding you back from seeing a doctor? I ask genuinely if it is your panic or maybe an insurance problem?

well all my family members and friends keep convincing me nothing is wrong its just my anxiety, eventhough i still go to doctors regularly, i just went to a doctor For my shortness of breath and a gastrologist for some digestive problems and pain , and after blood tests, x ray and samples and stuff, nothing was wrong, i also got into a car wreck last year and got a head and brain CT , everything was good , and about the migraine problem i had it for years and it was starting to get less frequent so i didnt think much of it , also the heart palpitations started when i got panic attacks for a while and my anxiety increased

Have you considered going to the ER (or A&E)?

[Kevin160 in reply to Mary-intussuception]

No because my blood pressure immediately goes back to normal and pulse , always everything goes back to normal once i calm a bit and about an hour passes after a migraine attack, i also get regular checkups and blood tests and im still 18 so usually im convinced its in my head and im worrying too much, which is likely true

I think everyone thinks there is something wrong with their heart when they have an anxiety attack

Feverfew is good for migraine they sell it in Holland&Barrett

[Kevin160 in reply to lillyofthevalley37]

Yeah thats very true, i always try to now overthink everything but sometimes the symptoms makes you doubt yourself , like “ what if this time im wrong and its not just a panic attack” , and i the anxiety rises sometimes , but im keeping up with it and mostly im staying calm
