So scared :(
The only symptoms I get are chest symptoms. I've seen so many drs and had so many ECGs but I am utterly convinced something is not right. I was just in Uni when my chest vibrated and everything in that area went funny I was convinced I was having a heart attack. I'm waiting for dr to ring me back I am

fear of a heart attack
Does anybody have a fear of having a heart attack? I have always been aware of bodily sensations such as heartbeating and pay attention to when it quickens or is too slow. If I get chest pain , my first thought is my heart. I have had an ECG which was fine but worry it is unreliable as I have heard this
