cant seem to shake this

[xxcraigiexx]

For the past year I have been suffering from health anxiety. My major fear is that there is something wrong with my heart. I get heart palpitations every once in a while and was told by two doctors that they are nothing to worry about but I still cant help freaking out every time i get some. I worry that my next heartbeat will be my last. I am 26 years old and my life has been put on hold. Does anyone else suffer like this?

Did you suffer from anything heart related in the past? If not, you should really try heart calming techniques like yoga and meditation. Sitting by the pool on a nice day while listening to meditation music helps a lot. Try to keep your mind distracted as much as possible. Swimming, biking, and hiking also help..

I have the exact same issue. Been going on for over 10 years off and on. It's currently " on " and causing issues for me and my job. Don't know why I constantly worry about it. Been told by numerous docs that I'm fine.
