Hello,
I am not really new to this forum but new to this section. I usually post on the GERD section but felt like I can get some help here. I have been dealing with extreme amounts of stress in the last 2 months or so. Mainly divorce stuff so stress has been high. Because of the stress I have developed bad stomach aches, nausea, etc. Also, since I had a surgery for Acid reflux 10 years ago I get chest pains from time to time and since I have been getting nervous stomach I get more and more chest pains which leads to anxiety. And I try to deal with it the best I can but it is hard. Last week I was flying and was very nervous thinking something will happen to me and I won't be able to get help since I was on the plane. As we landed, I got this all of the sudden racing heart, dizziness, chest pain and I thought I was going to pass out. I really thought I was having a heart attack but I calmed myself down somehow and it went away - however, I keep thinking it may happen again. Do any of you get this symptoms because of Anxiety? Could this be a panic attack? I went to see Cardiologist yesterday - he did EKG, Ultrasound and Stress test and said my heart is fine. He gave me 30 day heart monitor to check why I got this racing heart but said my heart is fine and it was most likely from other issue. I appreciate any help you can give me. Thank you.
