Hi,
Cardiac symptoms have a organic or functional cause which lead to their occurrence. If there is no physical cause found for your symptoms, as your history suggests your symptoms could be grossly attributed to anxiety. Yes, in anxiety you can feel chest discomfort, shortness of breath etc. Also, at your age it is uncommon to have cardiac pathologies, unless it is congenital or infectious or you have a strong family history or risk factors like obesity, chain smoking etc.
I would recommend that you consult a psychiatrist for counseling, behavioral therapy along with medication. Best.

Hi,
Organic or functional cause means the kind of cause which can lead to your symptoms. For example, organic cause can be in the form of anomalies in the heart like congenital disorders, mitral stenosis etc. Functional causes include over use injuries like left ventricular failure, rhythm abnormalities etc.
All your symptoms are related to panic and anxiety and do not have any physical evidence for their occurrence, hence can be attributed to anxiety. Hope this helps. Best.
I think it's a no brainer here. If having relations with a sexworker causes you this much anxiety, then don't do it. And since you have this much anxiety in your life, the doctor is right....a shrink would be the best help for you.
I have a daughter who has anxiety attacks when she goes into large stores at Christmas time, or any time when there are big crowds, so she has learned to do her shopping when the crowds are the lightest and her anxiety level stays at normal range.
I hope this helps.....
