You have received so much good input and advice, I would like to add my support!
To answer your questions... Yes, yes, and yes!
I think most of us on here would agree that we all have suffered from chest pain at one time or another. It's a major symtpom of anxiety!
"Anxiety" is the worlds biggest liar. It can make us believe that we have a life threatening condition, when in-fact we don't. Take control over your anxiety NOW and show it who the boss is!
Develop your coping skills, incorporate healthy distractions, and stay connected with your doctors concerning your medication and psycho-pherapy program.
Once you fully accept the fact that you are facing an anxiety disorder (I'm fully convinced you are considering your age), the fear that you feel will subside! Have faith in doctors and the tests they run!
Continue to post! We will be here for your support anytime you need it!
God bless
Cornell
