I am a 29 year old female. I don't smoke (any more), I don't drink caffeine (any more), and I consume absolutely no artificial sweeteners or soda (any more). I've suffered off and on with panic and anxiety for about 9 years.
This past October, I started having panic attacks again, and they all felt like a heart attack. I had random pains in my chest and under my sternum. My arms hurt and my jaw sometimes feels tight. To top it off, I've had random muscle pain since I was 14 and GERD for just as long. I've been having panic attacks to the tune of about 1-3 a day for months. Zoloft isn't working and I just found out I'm pregnant again, so I can't take klonopin. Thank goodness that my husband is amazingly supportive.
My question is, does anybody else have panic attacks that you are SURE are heart attacks? I've had 4 EKGs, 3 chest x rays, and the heart attack blood work done in the last 2 years and they're all normal. I still have moments every day when I'm SURE I'm just a ticking time bomb for a heart attack.
Am I crazy???
