Lately,I haven't been feeling well. During gym, I had heart palpitations,which scared me,and I had them last night when I was about to fall asleep. about an hour ago, I got pain in the breastbone and I had shortness of breath. I still am feeling like this. I mean, I have been stressed out lately because I need hours for confirmation,and my brother keeps pestering me to get them done.(So does my mom) Is my health anxiety doing this,or I it stress?

Have you had your palpitations evaluated?

No,I haven't. When I went to the doctor for my anxiety attack,they said my heart was fine.

Hi P.,

I hope you are feeling better today! Here are the self help suggestions I mentioned in your first post. I really think they will help you out. The third link especially explains the anxiety=symptoms=more anxiety=increased symptom cycle. The modules and suggestions for coping skills in the second link are also really effective. Give them some time and practice. I know you are already busy...but you won't regret taking the time to check these out.:)
