I recently have be diagnosed with GAD and it’s changed my life. My main worry is me dying from a heart related illness even though I’ve been told by doctors I’m fine. My heart rate will speed up and beat off-pace every once in a while which are both signs of anxiety. But the main for me is the damn weight on my chest all day. It has crippled my life style and I want to know if some of you have that “weight” on your chest. It’s not painful or hurting but it won’t go away. I’ve tried 5 meds that all have made the symptoms worse and included a pointless ER visit.
