Hello & Welcome

Have you or are you getting any treatment for your anxiety / depression ?

I can totally understand you freaking out with the pain and usually it is nothing but if you are really concerned and you are in the UK phone the NHS helpline and ask their advise , if you are not in the UK but have something similar a medical helpline then give them a call

Most of the time any pains we get come and go but our anxiety always makes things 100 times worse

Take Care x

Last year I suffered the worst anxiety attacks you could ever imagine. I was at the hospital every other day. Pain would run down my arm on left side and I would swear I was having a heart attack. My doctor finally told me that he also had suffered from anxiety attacks. He said he woke up out of his sleep at 3:00am holding his chest thinking it was a heart attack. Try to do things to occupy your mind and it won't bother you as much. Example, I get up and start cleaning the house and it helps so much. I wish u the best and hope u get to feeling better!

I too feeling the same. I remember I felt like this time to time even I was a child. But now I'm a mother of two young kids I'm feeling this almost every day. I used to rush to doctors and insist them to do each.all so far came normal. Last year I went my self to a cardiologist. After doing cholesterol sugar and exercise each and my family history he cleared me. Still I regularly get symptoms like heart attack. I have run to the docs several times. Like you I recently feared about a blood clot. Only few hours a day I feel relaxed. But I feel relieved when I read similar stories. I try to think rationally. Angus get free from this situation. You are not alone. Try to forget this even for a few hours per day. Let's try to practice this. All the best.

how sad to hear all our plights. anxiety is a horrible feeling. i was going through so much worries and it led to anxiety attack. i am having breathing problems for past two days and it is so difficult to inhale. my chest feels tight on an off and i cant even eat as i feel so bloated. I have been trying to gastric pills to ease the discomfort but it prevails. sometimes i feel i will struggle to catch my breath and might just collapse. God please help us all.
