Hey everyone! Feeling so anxious tonight! I’ve got chest pains (again) but I feel like there quite bad tonight. My sister In law said it could be indigestion cause it seems to be quite bad after eating and it’s quite painful in my back too. does this happen to anyone else?! I’m literally going out my mind I’m even considering going to the hospital. Please tell me this is normal I’m so scared☹️ should I just go the hospital to put my mind at ease?!

Hi Aimeelplant- yes it is quite common for indigestion to be felt in your back. Drink some water and maybe take some tums to help the acid settle down.

Someone once told me”if it was a heart attack, you wouldn’t have time to question if it was a heart attack, you would just know”. It kind of stuck with me. I still have my own fears about my heart and how healthy it is, etc. but I know it’s the anxiety and not my actual heart. Try to download a meditation app for anxiety and just put some headphones on and try and listen. It will help.

Thank you so much for replying! I do keep thinking to myself if something bad was going to happen it would have happened already, right?! It’s just when your in the moment, it’s so frightening! I have the doctors on Friday so hopefully this will ease my mind a little...
