I've gone from a cognitive anxiety to more of a health anxiety issue over the past 4 months. I was able to control the cognitive (thanks to my faith and God) and now I am battling the fear of this health anxiety. Primarily the fear of heart attacks and strokes.
I've done all the test (blood/X-ray/EKG's/holter monitor/stress test) and everything comes back normal.
I am getting upper middle back pain (pin point sharp pain) only lasts a couple of minutes and goes into my arm and sometimes my jaw hurts. This is coupled with, of course, chest pain/pressure. No increased heart rate at all though.
Well I guess my question is, has anyone else had the back pain and arm pain as well and jaw pain? The reason why I freak out is because of the similarly in symptoms with heart attack and stroke.
It gets better but sometimes I can't seem to kick this issue. I almost feel depressed and sick in feeling like I'm coming down with the flu or something. Thoughts anyone?
