So I’ve suffered from health anxiety for 8 years now. My fears range from stroke to heart attacks, to contracting HIV. I’m really young [25] so the odds of something like a stroke or heart attack are really low. I do have really bad GERD which sometimes comes with chest pain and that always triggers my anxiety. Last Monday I went to the ER with chest pain. They did an EKG and X-rays and told me everything looked good but I still can’t shake off the fear of having a heart attack. Today the chest pain is back but it’s more of a ticklish feeling that comes and goes. I’ve been on the verge of a panic attack for the couple of hours bc I can’t shake off the thought that maybe this is a heart attack.
