Hello :-)

You have to change your thinking pattern , it is not easy but can be done

Make a list of what actually has been said to you by the professionals that you are in danger of having a heart attack or something is wrong with your heart and then write a list of what your anxiety is telling you what is wrong with it , I think you will see there is none on the professional list and loads on your anxiety list which clearly says anxiety is the issue

Also now if there was anything wrong with your heart the Doctors are so advanced they would sort it anyway , I have had 3 heart attacks and waiting for a double bypass , yes I am terrified but I have to put faith in the Doctors and look at all the people that have been in my position and living their life to the full !

Make those lists and every time you start worrying look at them , hopefully it will make you realise it is anxiety and nothing else :-) x

Thank you for answer! I think that my fear comes also due to the fact that I've read somewhere earlier that someone young died suddenly, although that person did not complain about anything and was healthy. Of course I don't know these people. Maybe they weren't examined. But I really want to believe that the heart is a very reliable organ and cannot stop without any reason.

Hello :-)

It is rare but sometimes these things do happen but as I said rare

No doubt there will have been an underlying problem that we don't get to read about

But why should this happen to you keep asking yourself that

No organ is 100% reliable but if we take care , eat well get exercise they will serve us well :-)

I am sure yours is fine just that anxiety you need to sort out

Just another thought , whenever I start reading or listening to something maybe on TV because I have Health Anxiety I have learnt to stop and not carry on listening or reading because I know it will trigger me of and make me worse , maybe you could see if you can do that as by reading these things just feeds the anxiety we have already got :-) x

Your heart is fine, but see a doctor, more for reassurance than anything else.

Hi Tanya, as I understand from your previous post you live in Russia, I’m Russian too but live in the uk now. Russian doctors love finding problems with health and prescribe plenty of unnecessary medication. You were checked and they found nothing so I think it’s a great sign your heart is absolutely fine. Other way, see a private doctor one more time, it’s pretty easy and cheap there

Ой, здорово что вы из России. Я думаю, страх ещё потому что я где-то начиталась про истории как кто-то совсем здоровый умер непонятно почему. Ничем не болел. Не жаловался ни на что. И это меня очень впечатлило и испугало.

У вас очень сильная Health anxiety, знаю, что в России это за болезнь не признают, поэтому лечиться надо самой . Мне лично помогают аффирмации Луизы хей, видео на ютюбе anxiety relaxing music. Ну и действительно в России преобладает залечевание, поэтому шансы, что что то упустили , очень малы . А вообще нас здесь много, мы все переживаем за что то, у меня оченб много знакомых с такими же симптомами, когда ставишь себе смертный приговор, почитав Гугл. Поэтому просто посылаю big hug :)

my husband has a cronic heart condition after having a heart attack at the tender age of 38 hes now 49 and he has his dark days but the only thing that we have learnt about this is that life is and should be livied as fully as possible and that the thought s of the end gets in tge way of the fullness if living
