How are you now? I get chest pains a lot and muscle pain from anxiety but even now I still think things like "maybe this one is a heart attack?". Of course it never is. My chest pain seems to be brought on by silent reflux and the reflux is caused by the anxiety. You might have a digestive problem caused by stress and not even know about it. For years I thought (and was treated for) asthma and it turned out I only got it during times of heavy stress. Anyway it turned out to be silent reflux. I only finally figured it out when I realised the worst "attacks" happened within an hour or so of meals. Anyway might not be your issue but thought I'd share. Hope things get better for you today. Hang in there.

I feel the same fear. It's relentless sometimes I know. :( No matter how much a doctor says I'm fine I just feel like they aren't being thorough enough. Just do yourself a big favour and don't google symptoms because anxiety symptoms as I'm sure you know mimic all kinds of serious symptoms. It's just going to cause more panic and convince you something awful is happening. I have high blood pressure (probably from anxiety too) and so many heart attacks in the family so I'm always worried about that when I get chest pains. Going in to the doctors to get an ECG done did help me stress less and reassure me my heart was still fine. Sometimes we need that assurance and it's good... until we find the next life threatening thing to worry about. *rolls eye* Endless. Just know you are joined in this unending cycle of despair by many many of us. You know I really think the root of it for me is that I am really afraid to die. If I could somehow be at peace with my own eventual death, I'd probably still be as concerned as anyone when my body is doing something out of the ordinary but I wouldn't be just terrified all the time. But really how anyone gets to that place is beyond me. Why there are "normal" people that exist who walk around calm as ever going about their lives and not freaked out in the slightest by life, death and where it's all going are the weird ones to me. Anyway take care. Try and do something to occupy your mind.
