Hi Stacey I know how u feel. 4 months ago I felt like my heart stopped and started again. This made me panic and spin my anxiety out of control. I went to my doctor as my mum has heart disease and suffered an attack several years ago. I have had 15 ecgs, the 5 day monitor and an ultrasound of my heart and to top it off I have seen a cardiologist. It made me worse when they kept saying their is this little change on my ECG I seen this as a massive issue but infact as my cholestrol, blood pressure and I don't smoke or drink I have no risk factor of heart disease so my ECG is normal for me. However I still have fast heart rate, weird feelings in my chest, pain in my left arm, palpitations, pulsing in my stomach and odd pulsing we station in my throat. Iam told this is all health anxiety but it's a struggle like u say I get all these physical symptoms and it makes me worry. I started getting the dizziness a few weeks ago which came from no where. Key thing is keep going iam although some days it get so annoyed by it all. Hope u feel better soon xxx

I am just the Same. Went to see the consultant and everything was ok. Fine for a couple of days and then the doubts kick in. What if he's missed something what if I didn't tell him everything. This is typical of health anxiety. Reassurance doesn't work. Until you I change the way we think and approach life it will continue. Unfortunately drugs and doctors can only do so much, the rest is up to us. I have had this for over 30 years. There is normally a trigger in life that kicks this off and we need to find this trigger and address it. It is an uphill struggle but hopefully one day we wll reach the summit. I am probably totally wrong in my views but you are not alone. I think the Internet has a lot too contribute towards this it is called cyberchondria. Take care
