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
thank you it means alot that! But somedays I feel like why me? I always think has the hospital found something and not telling me do you know what I mean? I always think to myself everytime I go to hospital the same thing your not telling what's wrong with me! I have spoke to my freinds about this and they know I'm fine but I never accept it! Same with my family! Anxiety is real pain! Somedays I feel like what's the point? But I always think it's just anxiety your fine but then I get the chest pains and think hospital trip! I feel everyday every is against me you know what I mean? I do feel like I'm the only one feeling like this but I know I'm not! Thanks for you support it does mean alot
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
thank you it means alot
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.
