Hi, 1st time posting in this group having read some of the general posts and wanted to share my current situation.

Lately I have anxiety which is being brought on by chest stiffness (doctors have confirmed that I am healthy and no issues with my heart) however I have always been an overthinker which has now seemingly led to hyperchondria.

So basically I get anxious about the possibility of my chest being tight and what could be causing it. As such, the chest pain gets a little worse which then increases my anxiety. Hence, a vicious circle.

I wanted to see if anyone else has experienced this and if you have any suggestions to overcome this. I know the usual talk to someone, which I have done, but it seems my brain just wants to focus on this even though I have talked to people about it.
