Hello, I never really used to have anxiety until last year. I thought I had covid, I had all the covid symptoms you could think of. I went for a test and it was negative. All the symptoms dropped.
so, sometime in January this year. I started working out, after eating one day, I went for a walk. I started having pain under left breast. I started googling, which was my biggest mistake. Everything I read pointed to a heart attack. I called the Telehealth and was told that I should go to pharmacy for some antacid cos I went for a walk immediately after eating a spicy food. It took about 3 days after my medication for it all to go away. Before then, due to anxiety, I went to my GP, he listened to my heart and told me that my heart was beating well. Also, he sent me to do a blood test to check cholesterol levels. All came back fine, he also told me to lose weight. I was weighing 129kg. And 5 months later, I’m now at 107kg. But since then I’ve been a mess. Then on Easter, i went to a friends house, they had a fire outside. We all sat there. I came home and was watching a Tv show, and on that show, someone died of smoke inhalation. My blood pressure that night was at 221/90. I tried my best to calm myself. And I did. It went down to 150/90 after 15 minutes. Since then I’ve been spiralling. Every ache or heart pain I get, I panic. 3 weeks ago, I went to see my gp. I told her I felt pain on my chest, and that it moves around. I had an ECG and it was normal. My lungs and everything were checked and all were normal. But then I couldn’t stop googling every symptom on my body. Two weeks ago, I went for an ECG and heart blood test. All came back normal. My Gp suspects all the pain I’ve been having were due to my working out and anxiety. But still, I still worry. I’m such a a mess at the moment. I’ve been having most of the anxiety symptoms like racing/fluttering heart, chest pains and tightness that comes and goes. Headaches, dizziness, blurry visions etc. It’s getting out of hand. I’m so convinced my heart is going to fail even though all the ECGs and heart blood tests say I’m okay. I don’t smoke, rarely drinks, I’ve been losing weight, eating more healthy. Yet. I can’t seem to relax. I don’t want to spiral.
