I’d like to say thank you to the people who responded about how I was feeling and my symptoms.
So I got checked by a doctor, like just standard stuff like bp, pulse ox and the heart sound thing aha, he said you look perfectly fine and that I haven’t had a heart attack as he’s seen many and especially not in a 21 year old. He said the pain in most likely some issues with the stomach and muscular with the arm.
I know it’s not like ECG or bloods but he was reassuring and certain of my state. I really appreciated his help and hopefully I can tackle my anxiety over having a heart attack.

Lovely to see an update from you and I am so pleased you got to see a Doctor today and hope it will give you some peace of mind as they really do know what they are looking for and he saw nothing at all so believe him
You said yesterday you were coming of antidepressants you do not have to answer this but is there a reason you are coming of them as you might be better staying on them because of your anxiety or trying another one while you deal with other ways to deal with it
Anxiety can come in all different ways and I think regarding your heart you are getting a little health anxiety which is very common but can be dealt with and I hope you get all the support you need to deal with it so you can concentrate on keeping fit and enjoying your life like you should be at 21
We are here if you have any concerns and need to talk and I wish you all the best and a new start for you for 2023
thank you, your comments are great sadly even after this reassurance I get this chest heaviness and pain in arm again at 1am. I don’t know if it’s because my family are going on holiday and I’m gonna be alone.
Been in and out of sleep feeling weak and sick, I just feel now something is wrong. Just doesn’t stop.
When we have anxiety it is strange because we know the answers yet the anxiety is so strong it cancels them out and just leaves us full of fear
I think in your reply the answer was there your parents are going away and you will be alone and this is making you feel insecure
You then start to notice every ache and pain and start feeling something is wrong it does sound like you have health anxiety
Try and keep remembering you were only seen yesterday or the day before and the Doctor was more than happy with you gave you the all clear
I hope you might have some friends and more family that you can keep in contact with while your parents are away and see if you can contact your own Doctor about how you are feeling and hopefully they can start getting you some support
hi, I broke down and went to A+E to get scene. Currently there, my observations and ECG and fine. Just waiting to see a doctor on what I might need to do next for help mentally.
so had the bloods, my troponin level was 3 between 0-11 so all fine there. Had a brilliant chat about my mental health with a nurse for a couple hours and she gave me some resources
Thank you I hope so too, just need to ween off this anxiety spiral. Like even now after being tested 5 hours ago my brain is saying there is something wrong again
Over a year ago I called an ambulance for chest pain which was different than usual. One doctor in the hospital sent me for x-ray because he suspected gall stones which I had forgotten I have, and he was right. They are too small and in the wrong place to cause me problems except for that one time. It's surprising what can cause a problem in our bodies
