Couldn’t fall asleep until 6am again woke up at 1pmish woke up with pain like right in the center between my shoulder blades so of course I instantly think it’s my heart well I guess that just started my day off on the bad because I ate breakfast went for a drive and felt like a fast sharp pain in my chest and felt my heart racing and it freaked me out and of course it happens right when I’m across the street from an EMS station but I was close to my home so I drove home and just kept having panic and panic thinking I was about to die kept getting all the random pains feeling woozy just laid on the couch and was feeling funky an hour or so passsd my girlfriend texted and said get on the exercise bike and ride I rode for my 10 minutes so I atleast accomplished my drive and 10 minutes riding on the bike I felt okay as I was riding but then after I got off rested a little had a snack all the anxiety started back the damn random pains feelings. Just had dinner I feel okay. I’m so close to trying a Xanax. All that keeps going through my head is what a nurse told me don’t let this to far out of hand because you may not be able to rebound and of course that’s all I think about that I’m to far gone. Also think about how if I was alive like 100 years ago going through this I’d be in an insane asylum.
I also noticed too that when I’m going through whatever this is I can feel my chest and arms getting tight or ther parts of my body get tight walking up the stairs

Adam! I'm going to hold you down and force-feed you a Xanax! 😂 Okay not really, I'd never do that! I do think you should try one sometime and see if it helps, then you won't have any anxiety about what to do with them.
Medical professionals can sometimes be a bit heavy-handed, there are just far too many addicts or stupid people, which they often see, so they might end up telling you something that might sound a bit intense. I seriously doubt someone so considerate and self-conscious of the issue of even trying one pill would ever become an addict or abuse their medications. Give yourself some credit guy! Do what makes you feel comfortable, you sound like a responsible person who just so happens to have a good deal of health anxiety.
Anxiety can suck in the way it picks at our brain and makes us wonder what's REALLY going on. So many times people have been to the ER thinking they were having a heart attack when really they were having a panic attack. Considering your age and anxiety, I would imagine it's muscle tension that's troubling you. I would never dismiss your concerns and be so rude as to say ignore what your body is telling you, but try to be fair with yourself. Muscle tension can do a LOT and anxiety can wreak havoc on your body in the most interesting (and insidious) of ways.
As usual, sorry for being long-winded. Also I'm glad to see you're still active on the forums 🙂
Thank you lol I think you and everyone will be surprised that I did actually take a half of one of the Xanax .25mg I’m feeling okay I don’t feel chipper but I don’t feel like I’m running from something I can’t see.
I agree with Enduser. Take a whole Xanax. If the bad physical feelings go away, this will give you a hint that maybe anxiety is at the root of your bad feelings. It may help you to find out which direction to go in.
Tha is for sharing. I will suggest you do more of that riding and outdoor exercise early in the morning, and if possible dona little of lightweight lfting and pushups (but discuss them with your doctor). Also, I would suggest you watch your diet. Avoid cholesterol high food. Stay strong, bro. More love to God.
