Scared to fall asleep, I'm too scared to not wake up because of my chest pains.

[nae_27]

When I wake up every morning, I'm shocked. I have had heart and chest pain for almost a month now and anxiety for about three months. I didn't haw chest pain at first, but now I have had it constantly for almost a month. I have had numerous EKGs and had blood work done, been the My Doctor three times, Urgent Care about six times and even the ER once. I'm a 21 year old female, and every doctor has said I'm healthy. I just switched from Paxil to Zoloft yesterday because Paxil just wasn't working.. I dont know what to do anymore. Everyone looks at me like I'm crazy, and say I am okay... but this pain is so real and won't go away. All I think about is my heart, and I'm always feeling my pulse. My left arm hurts sometimes, and I freak myself out. It's almost gotten to the point where I've accepted death, even though Im "fine" I am convinced I'm not and I have some kind of heart problem. I just don't know what to do anymore. Anyone else out there know how I feel?

Hey there, you are not alone. Every night I fall asleep i'm convinced I will not wake up and that it was my last day. I to have been to the hospital and Dr on multiple occasions. I'm not proud of it either but always have felt as if I better get checked out because I am "certain" there is something wrong with me. I always used to love to sleep but not anymore. This sounds just lie anxiety that you have also.No doubt about it. I'm so sorry you have to go through this to. It is so hellish and i've found it has sucked all the happiness and excitement out of life for me. Anything and everything awesome I can't appreciate because all I can think of is death and worrying that it is my last day to the point of where I end up actually feeling emotionally dead with no happiness or excitement for anything. =/ It's so frustrating to boot when you are told by a friend that you have everything and others envy you yet they breeze through life and don't realize what it feels like to live everyday thinking it's your last and that in the end it doesn't allow you to be happy or value the things they may want that you have. =/ Anxiety is ruining our lives and our happiness. Stripping us of everything good but in turn leaving us nothing but fear,terror,depression and discomfort from day to day but there is hope as together we can help each other and keep this demon at bay!!!
