Anxiety over if it's acid reflux or a heart attack ?

[Purple_haze51]

I've been suffering health anxiety since my dad died in 2010 he had lung cancer and passed away in front of me I saw how much he suffered with trying breath and not wanting to die . Every since then I get scared of anything I feel off about my body like I've had acid reflux for awhile now I been getting pain in my chest and down my left arm to my thumb and fingers and feeling dizzy and fell off . I keep getting anxiety that I'm having a heart attack and call the 911 and go to the hospital doing all the test they do ekg x-ray blood test everything looks good all the time but I don't understand I keep getting these pains in my left side all the time .is it my acid reflux causing this pain ? Has anyone experience this also . please please help me I'm scared to to death I don't know what it is. I keep thinking I'm gonna die any moment and I can't leave my kids behind.

Hello you are having such a tough time. The only advice I can give is to make an appointment to discuss your fears with your doctor.

"call the 911 and go to the hospital doing all the test they do ekg x-ray blood test everything looks good all the time"

I assume your statement above mean you had had called emergency more than once and they have done ECG etc at those times and nothing related to heart was found. and offcourse your GP will have these in your health records. OK noted you are in the USA.

Please visit opa.org.uk the charity website for oesophageal issues. There are also pinne dposts on this forum which have a lot of information.

I also note you have variety of mental health issues ongoing.

Can olnly insist that see your primary care for acid reflux diagnosis to chck the anatomical issues related to your symtpoms.

Most importantly, off-clinical note your mind is your strongest manifestation device. the more you think about something, it is being manifested by your body. Suggest seeing your counselling support to become stress free anxiety free without medicines if possible.

The oesophageal issues will be significantly amplified by your anxiety/stress and offcourse lifestyle wont help if not managing the triggers.
