Hello I'm a 21 year old male. Around Thanksgiving I had this really awkward feeling with my heart where it felt like it stopped for a second and then kept beating and this caused dizziness, weaknessWeakness, fatigue, etc. The doctor attributed it to dehydration cause I drank heavily the two nights before this occured and didn't replenish my fluids thoroughly. Since Thanksgiving, I haven't done anything. I used to work out and now I don't because I'm afraid something will happen to my heart. I've had the following tests done: Echo, EKGAtrioventricular block, ekg tracing Ecg Exercise stress test, monitor for 24 hours, chest x-ray, blood work, 4 physical exams, and a CT scan of the abdomen which all came back NEGATIVE. However, I still feel like something is wrong with my heart, like I get a tightness, bloated feeling in my chest area. Then I start thinking of terrible things like deathDiscussing death with children Gangrene Liver cell death Loss of a child - resources Sudden infant death syndrome. I usually think of this when I'm by myself and I get so sadDepression and depressed. If I am watching a movie and someone dies in it, I immediately think of it and get sadDepression and depressed and think what if? I have never ever been like this before just since the thing happened on thanksgiving. Please help, and give advice. Is this depression with anxiety or what is it?
Sounds more like hypocondria. If I'm spelling that right. My mom gets like that. It's mostly anxiety, but it can depress the hell out of you too.
It's just where you often times think something is wrong with you, or that you are going to die.
The best thing I can tell you and my mom is to try your hardest not to worry about it because if you are worrying that you are going to die all the time, the stress is going to play on your body, mental (leading to depression) and physical (leading to a weaker system more suseptiable to illness).
