Hi i'm Stuart, I'm 26 and I have been having symptoms of anxiety for about a month. It started after i done damage to my fibrous tissue, two nights later i woke up in the middle of the night and i was sweating and had trouble breathing. i woke my mum up and she told me i was having a panic attack. I managed to calm down and went to the doctors the next morning and told her everything, she checked me over and said that it wasn't a heart attack nor was it heart realated. a week later i was shopping and came over all dizzy and couldn't stop rapid breathing, again another panic attack, straight to the doctors again, this time a ecg was done, no heart attack and no heart problem, ever since then i have being getting chest twinges, and feel like my hearts going to stop and i have to force myself to breathe. went to the doctors last week and told her about these problems, so she is going to send me for a treadmill test on my heart. Still no help with my anxiety. has this happened to anyone, doctors ignoring anxiety? anyway thank you for reading.

Hi stuart

I don't know if its so much that your doctor is ignoring anxiety, but ruling out any serious problem first, for example doing heart test and anything else, not to say anxiety cant be serious to some people, but its not life threatening

i am sure when your results come back clear your doctor should look at an anxiety treatment for you , hang in there in the meantime, read as much information you can about how people deal with it and see if any will work for you

good luck with it and keep us all informed
