So I have been suffering with heart palpitations, chest pain and shortness of breath! I do feel anxious at times but I haven’t been feeling anxious when I have been getting these. The gp is telling it’s anxiety but I don’t know! Has anyone else suffered with this

I would believe your Dr , these are very common symptom with anxiety.

In most cases you don’t feel anything wrong you’ll have what you’re describing. That’s what makes us sit up and say something is wrong and the Dr must have missed something. The reality is the DR missed nothing. Tell you Dr to give you benzodiazepine and if he won’t find one the will.

It’s anxiety . When I first got anxiety or noticed I had anxiety bad them were the symptoms . Try exercises and drinking tea . Those are working for me great .

Hi there!

I have suffered with anxiety since I was a little girl but physically for about 11 years.had palpitations and skipped beats since 2007.Apparently all anxiety.now I have lightheadedness all day and palpitations and so many other symptoms including shortness of breath.

It's horrible but not going to hurt you.i honestly think the hardest part about anxiety is acceptance which I find so hard.

Just remember you are not alone.

Yes, if you have anxiety these are the most common symptoms. Did the doctor perform any tests to rule out other things if you feel really upset? Stay +

Thanks for everyone’s replies really appreciate it! I’ve been getting myself really worried about it all. My family called the ambulance once an I was put on an ecg for 24 hours and I’ve also had blood tests too

You could be completely fine and be a hypocondriac like me. :). I went to the hospital with your same symptoms. I’ve done everything scans, mris, colonoscopies. Just love yourself.

How old are you

OMGOSH YOU ARE. You remind me of myself. I'm 32 now and have been dealing with things like you did when you were your age. Go out and have fun, stop going on these forums unless you really need to. Stop feeling sorry for yourself. Go live and have fun!!!! Make mistakes!!!!!!

Yes a little paranoia is completely fine. You should always be aware of your body. Don't google symptoms, I thought i had stomach, colon, pancreatic, brain cancer. It's just not worth it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yeah that’s what I’ve been doing to googling symptomswhich obviously make it worse !! and I feel like the only thing that would put my mind at ease would be an mri scan

Allaznreject in reply to Annab124

You don't need an MRI scan. You need to stop googling my friend!!!! Just be positive!!!
