Anxiety and Worrying.

[Tngirlvol1]

I went to the ER two months ago with shortness of breath chest pain and rapid heart beat. They did a EKG blood work MRI and a echocardiogram. All test came back normal. I was told it was a panic attack. Now two months later all I do is worry about my heart. I haven’t slept good in two months because I lay awake at night worrying about my heart. Wondering if they could have missed something at the ER and if my heart has changed. I’m a mess.

I am taking Trazodone at night and Bystolic in the morning. I’m having a stress test Thursday. Thank you for your reply.

Hello,

It is normal to be a little worried about your health after something like going to the ER. However, it sounds like they checked your EKG and blood to make sure it was nothing else. I always have a EKG reading done in my doctors office because I am so anxious. She once sent for a cardio scan and it came back normal. Talk with your doctor if you are worried, but anxiety does create unnecessary worry and panic is part of it. Good luck.
