Hi and welcome Alex,

Yes, if you could give us a little more information about whether you have had a recent medical professional consultation, that would be helpful.

Until then, you can check out our Resources for some great stress reducing self help ideas.

Hope to hear more from you soon,

Okay, you were surely given a cardio work-up while in the ER, so you can trust that if there was anything to worry about, they would have told you before release.

Sometimes GERD/Acid reflux can cause radiating pain, or even referred pain down the arm. You may want to check in with the GERD forum here as well if you haven't already.

Also stick around here as well though.;) Just having those who understand about your anxiety can be healing in and of itself!

Another thing to consider is looking into our book recommendations on health anxiety...they are in our Resources and could help you with some of the fears that you mentioned in your first post.

Talk to you soon,

S.C.
