Those with chest pain

[Adamj]

How do you guys convince yourself you’re not dying this is getting ridiculous now. I wake up with chest pain sometimes it fades away then comes back I feel so many sensations in my chest arms shoulders jaw. Center of my chest, left side right side, sternum, bottom of sternum. Ive had 3 EKGs done blood work chest X-ray all came back normal. I try and distract myself but sometimes all my body feels is the weird sensations.

For me personally, and way easier said than done, and after multiple visits to the ER, I just learned to accept it and it went away. It happened before and I lived through it. I had multiple tests done each time and everything was normal. Therefore, there is no reason to believe I won’t live through it this time. Took a bit, but learning to accept it for what it is simply caused it to fade and go away. Haven’t had a panic attack in years now. Still obviously suffer from anxiety and negative thoughts a bit, but the attacks no longer surface. A little more morbid, but another part of me just said, well, self, if you are dying, then so be it. We really don’t have much control over these things so (assuming all doctor checks have been done) we really must just accept it for what it is and whatever happens, happens. You will get through this and prosper. You must learn to believe in yourself. You have the strength and power to fight and succeed and come out on top.

Good afternoon Adamj. I’m on the exact same page as you are! My chest pain doesn’t go away accompanied by various shooting pains during the day !! I also feel like I’m dying all day long! I ask myself all day long…. There is no possible way that this is only anxiety or panic based! It can be!

Well my dad suffered a heart attack once and he said it was the most excruciating pain he had ever felt in his life. So that helps me distinguish between the two. Plus mine's tend to be little sharp sticks that don't last too long and then I check my poles and it's at 85 so chances are I'm I'm good. I just tell my anxiety to shut up 😂

The doctors keep telling me I’m okay and it’s highly unlikely for someone who’s 22 to have a major cardiac event and the tests they’ve run all have come back good

But when I get the weird pains and such it makes my anxiety and panic freak out

Anxiety is known to cause chest pain. I have it sometimes and I've been checked too.
