So fed up

I keep getting a pain in the bottom of my chest / top of stomach area. I ended up in a&e last week after 2 hours of pain. I had an ecg, blood tests, chest xray, ct scan & an ultrasound on my stomach, after initial worries everything seems fine apart from 1 dr wanting me to have an echocardiogram & 24 hour monitor just as a precaution. . I feel so miserable & so horrible. I just had the most awful same pain & dizzy head & now am sitting feeling like something is seriously wrong with me but after all the tests & scans surely something would have been picked up last week. How do I stop feeling like this it’s taking over my life😩

Good evening I just joined this group and I see I already found someone with similar situation. Mine revolves around a hyperfocus on an accelerated heart rate and fatigue. I had all those tests done multiple doctors and specialist find nothing. I've had a heart monitor twice.i also feel it's taken over my life. At this point my doctors don't seem to empathize with me anymore. Now ive a had massive headache for 8 days. I went to my doctor and immediately thought I was there for anxiety. My blood pressure is also up and they just pile all on anxiety. It's so frustrating. Nowhere to turn to. A therapist gives me an hour out of a full week. So I've decided to turn to this forum and hope I can get some solace. I'm sorry you're going through that. Don't wish this type of scenario on any one

If really is awful constantly worrying about health issues but after all of your replies I am starting to think I really need to stop stressing about something that is out of my control, all of us have had numerous checks so I’m sure someone would have picked up a problem if one of us had anything wrong. Can anyone try to think positive thoughts & begin to enjoy life instead of making ourselves so miserable🫤

I sympathise so much with you. This is no way to live is it.

My pain is on the left side top by my heart it cones & goes then seems to move into my chest😩it comes when I’m sitting thinking constantly about my health. I’m sure my anxiety is causing these pains & it’s making my life so miserable. I wake up thinking about when my pains will start & I really don’t know how to stop my mind having these thoughts. I was convinced this morning I needed to go to a&e again & I probably won’t be here today because I’m going to have a heart attack at any time.

How do I move on?? It’s driving me insane

this is me to a T I got diagnosed with tachycardia and it has been the worst 2 weeks of my life. I can’t stop thinking about my heart I’m obsessing over it. I can’t sleep I can’t focus on anything else I feel dread and I’m so scared it’s horrific. I have pins and needles and I’m dizzy from stress. I hope you’re okay. Just know you’re not alone and there is a lot of people out there who feel the same way you do ❤️

Glad you are checking everything out. Anxiety comes with a lot of scary symptoms. I had to go for chest scan too and everything was ok.

sorry to hear about your anxious thoughts with the pain and discomfort sometimes we experience outer comfort zones which seem to drain our self consciousness and lower moral or mood swings associated the need for better absorption with our inner being and states of mind confusion or doubt as you have had some health checks in correspondence with associated as helped remove some risks or possibly elevations time is a great healer and understanding how we feel is a deep motivator to uplift any wider concerns and give a sense of resonate as long as you are receiving guidence in respect or if you need some

Talk talk with those who can assist you further on with mediation mentally or physical family or friends are always helpful of if need be self advice always if you are not able too self care you are worthy and positive habits and aligning lightness of burdens hope you recover and find peace of mind and joy
