does n e one know

If you have been checked out medically and everything comes back fine, I think its safe to assume its anxiety. We often times feel what we think. You may have something as simple as a strained muscle or a pinched nerve that is causing some discomfort and making you think its a heart attack.

Those of us with anxiety are usually pretty quick to jump to worse case scenarios :) If I have (all at different times) heartburn, left scapular pain, a pain in my chest on left side, a slight tingling or numbness in my left arm or hand what do I automatically think!? Heart attack. I can eat a hearty meal of acidic spaghetti and get heartburn and still convince myself it has to be a heart attack and not from spaghetti sauce. :)

Try to distract yourself, practice deep breathing and positive self talk and take charge. You know your heart is healthy... don't let anxiety tell you otherwise. A lot of people say anxiety mimics heart attack symptoms for them. I wish you the best.

In need, do yourself a big favor, I won't use names but start reading from the top down and pay close
attention to our symptoms, you will see a scenario repeated over and over. After you have done this
ask yourself again, I think the answer will be too obvious. What will be your course of action then?
Well depending on several things, your insurance, and doctors you trust, therapy, and not in the least
the resources here at HW. Not to mention the Monitors they are like Guardian Angels to us.
The next move is up to you, it is my Prayer that you do your best to defeat this for Yourself and Loved Ones.
I will Pray for You others will also.
