So this is my first time posting on here. I am a 30 year old, female about 5'3 140 pounds. Not a smoker. Not a drinker. Not on any medication. The only thing that I have been doing that may be a cause of my issues is excessive caffeine drinking. However, I am also a person that cares way too much about every little thing, the smallest thing can cause me stress, like a stain on the carpet, or just something stupid like that.

Over the past few months I have been having a myriad of issues including severe headaches, heart palpitations, dysesthesia, dizziness, chest pain, eye sight problems and fatigue. I have been to my general doctor multiple times, a neurologist, and an optometrist. 

This week I admitted myself to the ER twice because I thought I might be having a heart attack and I thought at the very least, they would be able to give me some insight as to what is going on with me. They didn't. I went in initially because I was having unusual chest pain. I was sent home after an ECG and blood test. I admitted myself hours later because I went into work and sitting at my computer, my heart started pounding and racing faster and harder each second for about a whole minute. Normally my palpitations are just flutters so this was very alarming to me. Again, I was sent home after another ECG and blood test.

It's incredibly frustrating. My blood tests are normal. They said I have no blood clots, no thyroid issues. And I had 0 episodes while I was at the hospital. They also did a chest x-ray that showed nothing abnormal. My blood pressure is always generally a little low so they can't even prescribe me beta blockers to help with the palps. I am still waiting on the result of the Zio patch heart monitor I wore for two weeks this past month so I was told unfortunately I will just have to be patient. 

My doctor thinks that I have depression and anxiety. I have always had anxiety from growing up with a mom who was agoraphobic. I have always been afraid of dying and simultaneously afraid of heart attacks. My anxiety got better in my early 20's and worse after I had a daughter and went through an abusive relationship that lasted about 4 years. I have a hard time believing however that all of these symptoms could be the result of high anxiety. I have dealt with anxiousness and panic attacks my entire life and never had it affected me with physical symptoms (aside from an upset stomach). My s/o thinks that it is a buildup of anxiety over the years combined with excessive caffeine drinking. I have not touched caffeine since my visit to the ER two days ago because I am terrified that awful heart racing/pounding episode will happen again. 

Sometimes I feel really relaxed and the heart palpitations start again and I just ball my eyes out because I'm so frustrated that even without anxiety I can't get rid of this. And it sucks because I am finally in a really great place in my life but I have a hard time enjoying it because I am so scared of this illness I think that I have.

I am curious if anyone has had similar anxiety issues?
