Hello all and thank you for reading,
I'm 24 years old and have had issues with anxiety for years. Within the fast few months I feel it's gotten a lot worse and I have been experiencing panic attacks and bad physical symptoms overall. One of the symptoms that gives me the most trouble is my chest. I get really bad tightness, racing heart and even shooting pain (over both my right and left side)
My doctor gave me a scare about 6 weeks ago. She claimed my ECG's over a weeks time were "changing" and therefore abnormal and encouraged me to go to the ER if I experienced similar pain, which of course only made me experience it more... I went to a new doctor who I related better to. She compared the same ECG's and said she saw absolutely nothing wrong and encouraged me to relax but ever since that first doctor, I feel the tightness and pain getting worse and find myself getting worked up about it no matter what I do.
Does anyone else experience these sensations on a daily basis and not only when anxious, but completely randomly? I don't want to keep running to the doctors every time it comes up for me.
Thanks so much for any replies!
