has anyone got information about health anxiety, because I have had every test to do with my heart but everything has come back normal but everyday I get chest pains but I always think something is wrong I have been digonesd with anxiety but nothing else any information for me?I feel like I am going crazy

[Agora1]

Hi Anthony, you are not going crazy by any means. Anxiety plays a rough game with

our minds allowing us to think we are physically sick. Once we overcome one issue

it will give us another one. Most of us started with fear of our hearts, I did as well.

The chest pains you are experiencing can very well be coming from anxiety and your

fear of heart issues. Not coming from the heart itself but the muscles and nerves in

the chest wall muscles.

When we fear again, every muscle in our bodies tighten. Addressing your Anxiety issues

may be more beneficial than seeing doctor after doctor and getting the same results...Normal cardiac function.

Enlighten yourself with more knowledge of Anxiety. You will see how it provokes our thoughts in a negative way. Do not fight the symptoms, when you do, it only puts you further

into a "fight or flight" stance making the pain worse. Of course, we are not doctors and can

only go by our own life experiences with Anxiety. Believe me, I struggled just like you. Once

we accept anxiety for what it is, a lie, a negative thought, we will be able to heal and go

forward. Keep using this support site for the help you need in knowing you are not alone. xx

I can't add more comments than given by Agora1 .... That member hit the nail on the head with explaining how anxiety wreaks havoc on your body, including your heart muscle. I used to think I was having a heart attack every time I had a panic attack. It wasn't until I was diagnosed with anxiety that I found out there was nothing wrong with my heart or cardiac system, so far my chest pains, shoulder tightness, shortness of breath has all been attributed to my anxiety, especially during a heavy anxiety attack

this happened to me, check for hernia and acid reflux. That’s what caused mine. Stomachs tablets helped me. Try this road. I thought for years mine was to do with anxiety and it was a hiatus hernia, sending love

I too struggle with this but I’m also skeptical of the medical system that continues to push people off as only anxiety when they’re really is a problem especially my generation where there’s soooo many stories of people being told anxiety and having to fight because they know there’s something off in their body. Though chest pains can have a lot of different meaning since there’s so many organs right.

if you think something is wrong fight for yourself we are our own best advocate

I remember in the beginning I thought I was having a heart attack my heart would beat so fast, my breathing would get shallow, and I would get hot and even sweat. I thought I was going crazy, because it was happening so often. I didn’t really know about panic attacks or even depression at this time, so I didn’t know what was wrong with me. A year later I was recommended to try MHMR and was diagnosed as having anxiety, depression, and bipolar disorder. All of those feelings I was having were explained to me as panic attacks, and I continued to do research and learn about it, and even though it’s been 8 years later, and I just got back on medication I still try to learn more and practice coping techniques. I hope this kind of helps, because I know how scary it is not knowing what is wrong.
