My friend has a son who has heart problems and whenever I speak to her about similar symptoms it just puts me on edge. I go back and constantly think back to my cardiologist telling me that my ekg, stress test, and echo are all fine.
I wanted to seek a second opinion though.
My cardiologist, who is a male was a bit dismissive when I described my symptoms and concerns. He wrote on my transcript record that he believed stressed played a big role in my chest pain (anxiety).
Although, he may be 100% correct. Is it just me or does it feel like if I was a male and described same symptoms I would not have these same outliers?
Anyway, that got me thinking and now I’m just in panic mode again.
Why do I do this to myself?
I’ve had my reassurance.
Can someone help me.
I feel like I’m spiraling.
😭

Well I 100% knows exactly what you are feeling, because this is what I'm going into right now. The difference is that it's not the chest pain that concerns me but the left arm shooting pain and tingling sensations I gets. I did the same tests you said and they were all good, perfect and strong heart. I believe it's because of the sensitized nerves because of the fear hormone we have on going right now. I believe that I developed heart health anxiety.
i was dismissed by the female dr who followed up with my results when i told her all the symptoms i was still having. only heard from the cardiologist office to tell me i was fine. my symptoms did end up going away so i think she was right. if you had all the tests its not your heart. i know its hard to convince your mind of that. im always amazed how my symptoms mimic everything we've been told to watch when it comes to heart issues. you had the tests so i dont think him being a male doctor is a factor. maybe if they denied you any testing sex mightve been a factor but i personally dont think a 2nd opinion would matter. ive been there in that state of mind. 100 drs could probably reassure an anxious person and they would find a way to doubt it. thats anxiety.
We tend to over think things , we are in tune with everything in our body's .. anxiety has a lot of symptoms can do alot . Our body fights our mind during anxiety and panic . And in return our mind fights our body as well our hearts speed up cause we think we are having a hear attack but really our body is telling our mind look your heart is beating fine and now I'll speed it up to prove it .. fight or flight mode .. I learned something very important about anxiety that I held on to until my panic attacks went away for good . And that is , you can not die from panic or axiety attacks . In fact addrelin is the opposite of dieing . So next time you have one remember those words and breath . I'm telling you you will find it more easier to relax threw an axiety attack and it won't lead up to a panic attack . . Also all the symptoms your hearing about your friends son , it's nothing short of you thinking all those bad things are happing to you with negative thoughts . So think possative and it will pass . Hope this helps
