I had a heart scan in January said it was fine when I press down it hurts. I don’t want to go to hosptial though. I just want Reassurance 😢😢😢😢

Kaaayla, you are okay...you are safe. This is anxiety making you doubt yourself.

A thought comes along in our subconscious mind and our body reacts physically

to the thought. Once you ignore that symptom as non life threatening, it will go away and your anxiety will go down. Sending you a warm assuring hug xx

I know so scary as it comes out of nowhere! Hate it. I’m trying to tell myself Iv had this loads it’s not a heart attack. If it was like my doctor said to me over the phone I’d be dead by now as blunt as he said it lol. Just the pains in my chest hurt , much love agora! X

Muscles can do strange things when they are under stress. I have had some really believable symptoms that are muscular. I’ve had pains in my chest and arm and went to A&E, by the time I was seen it had gone. Your body knows you’re anxious and is playing games with you x

[Kaaayla in reply to Matt3013]

[Kaaayla]

If you press on the site that’s bothering you and it hurts, it’s definitely muscle pain! Heart pains usually cant be pinpointed remember that!!

[Kaaayla in reply to Guzman13]

I know but still got chest pain it’s just so painful , muscle pain I’m taking it is. But how comes it’s been there for ages! It’s so sore Yh when I press down it hurts

[Kaaayla in reply to Guzman13]

Do you get chest pain everyday because I do

I think it is the stress /panic you are under. I think if you had more support to help I think you would be good. That's why I message you to see how you are doing. I'm glad you do answer them back.

i’m not sure if you already have someone you’re seeing, but i think you might benefit greatly from seeing a therapist or psychiatrist. these physical symptoms that you are experiencing are manifestations of your anxiety and by seeing someone who is professionally trained in understanding anxiety, they could teach you coping mechanisms so that these physical symptoms aren’t plaguing your life. i understand how you’re feeling. i’ve been there. it’s so terrible and can be incredibly debilitating. seeing a therapist has helped me immensely to the point when i don’t have physical symptoms anymore. might be something you want to try.

[Kaaayla in reply to dklatt]

Yeah it’s horrible these feelings ain’t they 😢.. I’m on a waiting list for a therapist. Anything just taking so long x

If it was a heart attack, you wouldn’t be writing this right Now? Anxiety can make you feel different things? 😷🙏

[Kaaayla in reply to Want2BHappy3]

True I’m still here so not a heart attack.. the mind is a very POWERFUL thing .. now I have serve neck pain but probably just tense muscles! I hope x

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Kaaayla]

Good to hear, you’re So Right about the mind. My anxiety has gotten the Best of me to the point that i ate till I was throwing up. So Now my head, throat and chest are hurting, I’m 65 so I’ll be sore for several days. Getting Old SUCKS😩🙏😷

[Kaaayla in reply to Want2BHappy3]

Oh no. How long you suffered anxiety for? I hope I don’t have this forever 😢

[Want2BHappy3 in reply to Kaaayla]

Can’t say how long for You? Gosh I hope Not? I’ve been suffering off and on for about 36 years. I’m in counseling, unfortunately I can’t be Honest with my counselor because where I live they have something called 50/50 law where they can hospitalize You for 3 days without your concent. And there have been times where I’ve gone weeks at a time living on boiled eggs and V8 juice and dropped 40 pounds in a month. I had a breakdown about 4 years where I quit/retire from my job of 32 years. So look into counseling, I’ve only been doing it about 5 years 🙏😷
