omg, I am exactly the same, I hosted a xmas party the other night and one of my guests started telling me about the stroke he had and his symptoms and my neck went into spasm and I felt like fleeing. It's a terrible feeling

also, I watch a lot of tv and there is a commercial every 20 minutes about some pharmaceutical for some malady whether it be afib, cancer, ms, and many more. I can feel myself tightening up when I hear them. Even the sports talk show I listen to broadcasts commercials for different hospitals in the area specializing in cancer treatment and heart disease. It seems like I can't get away from it.

Wowww I feel the same exact way I open my email and saw on my Yahoo mail of someone dying from a massive heart attack I had to delete the whole thread. I know exactly how u feel because it then goes to me thinking it's gonna happen to me sigh!

yes it's such a horrible feeling to be scared just hearing about it like you get the symptoms after you hear of them as well.

I can't watch tv with people having strokes and heart attacks 2 it makes me go into a panic like crazy!!!

Yup, same way. I always think something is going on with my heart. When I hear something about someone else, especially around my age (36) or close to me. Something going on with them, I start to worry.
