Health anxiety/ heart

Woke up feeling great today! Then got to work and I felt as if my heart was being constricted, it wasnt harsh pain. it was dull. Half the time I couldn't feel it. But if I moved a certain way or tried to do somthing to make it happen I could feel it there. I have really bad anxiety, the past 6 months have been exhausting to say the least. I have palpitations, especially if I drink it can get bad and I start to freak out. I'm 21 years old. Used to be in good shape but the past 4 years i havnt been exrevising or eating very healthy. Does anyone else deal with this? Very worried may go see a cardiologist asap. Any advice of personal expereince will be much appreciated. Thanks guys!

Alcohol will only make things worse, I used to get bad anxiety including palpitations the day after drinking, so do not drink anymore.if you have any issue with your heart it's best to get a doctor to check things over....I'm sure it's nothing sinister.

Hyperventilation and dehydration can cause some nasty anxiety related symptoms, so alcohol will not help with this either.

All the best
