Last week I went to the ER because my heart rate jumped from 82 to 144 while simply sitting and watching tv (noticed I was struggling to breathe, my heart started pounding, and confirmed this with my Apple Watch). It GRADUALLY went down over the course of 1-2 hours but I really thought I was going to die. Went to ER, had a bunch of tests and scans done, doctor said I appeared to be healthy as can be.

Today, just while sitting at work, I suddenly felt lightheaded and dizzy. This lasted for over 2 hours, which made me more worried as nothing like this happened before. I suddenly felt my face going numb and freaked out again thinking I was having a mini-stroke. Again, feeling like this was the end of the line for me. I did the self-tests recommended online to check if it’s a stroke (able to lift both arms, smile, etc.) and that made me feel a bit better realizing it’s not a stroke but the face numbness felt so real. 

I’m honestly just shaken up and scared now. I’ve never really gotten my anxiety diagnosed, never went to therapy, never taken pills for it. But the doctors insist I’m perfectly healthy (I’m 26) so idk what else it could be besides anxiety attacks. I have some major stressors in my life that are ever present in the back of my mind. But I never thought it could lead to such real and scary physical symptoms, especially thinking I’m really having a heart attack or stroke... Im scared this may be a reoccurring thing.
