What are the different types of anxiety symptoms

[Neesis411]

I just wanted to know, why does anxiety feel like a heart attack... I get pains in my left arms also... I get all kinds of pains, that makes me think that I am going to die. I've been to the heart doctor and he told me that my heart is fine, yet I panic. I would be fine for a few days then it hits my like a strike of lightening... I don't want meds. why can't they come out with a safe medication? Is there any yet...? I don't like this trial and error thing... If this one makes you feel weird or make you feel worst or even have a horrid anxiety attack... My gosh it's frustrating! Every time my heart beats fast I think I am going to die of heart failure or something.... Many times I feel to faint and I feel like I cannot breath... I am really afraid of death.... I always think that something is wrong with me, like I have cancer or something... PLease help me!

hiya!! anxiety and panic can feel like a heart attack cause of the wasted adrenalin thats pumping around your body, if you have had your heart checked then please try not to worry, i take a beta-blocker which helps control the panics and the racing heart and it isnt addictive. if you focus on your heart you will feel every beat and bang and make it ten times worse. then you will end up with full blown health anxiety.
you are still very young and its highly unlikely for you to suffer from heart disease or cancer please try to focus on other things rather than your health you must trust your doctors.
let us know how you get on :-)

Thanks a lot! It's 6:47am and I still haven't really sleep:(... I don't know, but my heart won't stop racing. I think it finally calm down... My chest burns and I feel like my heart is tired! Do I sound like a child complaining? When I was lying down I felt like I had high blood pressure and it was going to my head! I have always had good blood pressure! Do your hands and feet get cold at times?
