Health Anxiety

[Kingchris22]

I'm a 20 year male old pretty okay shape I have pretty bad anxiety that is based around my heart ive had it for 3 years and I've had multiple normal Ekgs and normal blood test and chest xrays. My doctor has even listened to my heart and said that it sound great but he did am EKG on me anyway to hopefully relax my mind a bit and here recently I've been feeling like random heart flutters or like skipped beat feelings sometimes at least but mostly whenever I'm really anxious or whenever I workout and it scares me so I end up stop working out and I really would like to start working and running like I used to but I am afraid to still.. So can give me any advice on this?!

Hi Kingchris,

I had similar issues before where I was getting chest pain from anxiety.  I was scared to workout and go to the gym.  All my tests were normal so I decided that I would try the gym out.   Even though I was still getting weird feeling I just told myself its just my anxiety then I started going regularly again and my chest pain actually started to get a lot better.  Just make sure to double check with your doc if it is okay to go to the gym.

I hope this helps.
