chest pains from panic and anxiety
Hi I'm going through panic and anxiety last one I had was about 3 weeks ago but what's bothering me the most is the chest pains left arm pain and now it sometimes goes into my jaw iv had ecgs blood tests and xray done and all came bk normal all I'm askin it it normal for these pain I'm constant worrying all the time plz can u help xx
Ye I'm guna take it up and see a cardiologist just to be on the safe side iv only just gone 30 and its ruining my life cause all I do is worry I don't do the things I used to do just want to get back to who I was before its so distressing for me .....
pokerdot, greenlydia gave you excellent advice, it's always best to be checked out by a cardiologist before completely ruling out many heart-like symptoms as anxiety.
Chances are, your heart IS just fine, and anxiety is known to cause cardiac like symptoms, but one can never be too safe in ruling it out. You've had pretty good work ups, so that should ease your mind a bit. Ask your family doctor to give you a referral to a cardiologist. Once you get the "a-ok" from him/her, you can start really addressing this as anxiety.

Aw I forgot to mention I'm getting a 24hr monitor on me to maybe that will put my mind to rest but am I best off seeing a cardiologist first.:)
Thanks for the reply ye I will take that up cause iv not seen one ov them yet... But I asked my doctor if my heart was fine and he said that my heart fine and I needed to stop worrying but I still can not rest my mind... How do I go about in seein a cardiologist do I make an appointment to see one through my doctor or can I do it myself ....
well that your opinion and your welcome to it but like she posted she like me is keeping up with the checks needed read her post as long as you keep a eye on crap its a panic attack i have had 20 or more years of it how about you don't like it well you know and yes i don't know women and yes i do know there symptoms are different and allot harder to tell i do read and have read about all the deaths due to different symptoms and being missed my point short shes checking it read so if its all norm its stress

Sorry, but I really must call you on your advice to pokerdot. It was very much like your username, if you catch my drift.
First you must understand that the symptoms of a heart attack in men is vastly different for those in women. Frequently we don't have ANY symptoms.
But there IS one classic symptom for women and that is pain in the jaw.
Two years ago I had what I thought was acid reflux, but then the pain moved to my jaw. I'm going to make this story very, very short, but they got me in the cath lab and I ended up having two cardio stents placed. One artery was 87% blocked and the other over 95%. They said it was a miracle I hadn't already had a massive MI.
You ARE right...........we never DO know when the real thing is going to come get us, but I learned the hard and very scary way that it's far better to be safe than sorry.

but most often just another attack they can get nasty just watch the norm ones there habits etc and you will have a better chance of catching a real heart attack but also remember they change around
