Now with that being said I am 25 years old I don't eat right at all and I have smoked since I was 13 and yes I'm trying to quit as we speak so here is what I have been going through that has now made me lose two jobs and almost lost custody of my son.

This happens every day all day long from the time I wake up to when I go to bed I literally almost go to the er everyday they think I'm crazy they have given me ct scans and ekgs chest X-rays blood work and say I'm fine it's anxiety but here is why I don't believe them

Anxiety is a great liar, and an incredible salesman.

The best way to sell an idea or product is by using emotion. It's certainly doing that to you. Selling you the idea that you're sick while accompanying it with the emotion of fear.

That's immensely powerful stuff, but it's possible to break the spell when you know what's happening.

That is definitely anxiety. I had sharp pains in my chest and back. Also extremely bad heart palpitations, where I thought I was having a heart attack. Same symptoms as you. I could be having a good stress free day and all of a sudden they would appear which frightened me even more. Imagine a coke bottle inside your chest... When you have little stresses, it builds up inside of you and one day this bottle gets so full that it bursts.... This can burst on a good day. Hence why you get palpitations when you are feeling ok that day. I had a few ECGs and they all came back fine. Something has set yours off? I didn't realise what mine was until I spoke to someone with anxiety. Don't worry... What you have is very common. Maybe speak to a therapist so you can find what triggers them. Hope this helps x

Your welcome. Yes of course... I expect because you are worrying/panicking about them, the palpitations etc will get worse. Once I knew what mine were, they started to get a little better. They have not completely gone but at least I know that there is nothing wrong with my heart. It is very scary when it happens, but try to tell yourself that it is normal to have these symptoms. Hope you find the route cause x

IF you were going to have a heart attack/heart failure/etc, it would most likely have happened by now... Serious. You are a healthy 25 year old playing mind games. Believe me... Been there, done that. Once in a while I still do at 42... Hahahaha...
You're fine.

[Munka]

Totally understand even though you have had all the test say that your fine your don't believe it. I have been the same way for awhile you have to believe and trust the doctors that it is only your anxiety.

[gabe]

You're heart is almost certainly fine. How are you on really busy days where you have a lot to do?

[PanicCured]

All of us here have experienced the "What if the doctor missed something?" trip. When heart stuff worries you, go ahead and take all the tests with a Cardiologist, and once you are told all is normal and it is just anxiety, you have found your answer. But it will not make you happy because Anxiety is mainly an internal mental and behavioral problem. That internal problem, needs to be addressed and adjusted. That is why reassurance doesn't work. People can tell you everything is ok 50 times a day bit it is not enough! That is why you don't see me on here holding someone's hand caressing them that all is well, because I know that only lasts for a few hours at best!

Anxiety healing is a process that involves calming down and healing the body and nervous system and taking all your effort to retrain the brain and create productive and positive thinking and behavioral changes that will eventually lead you back to a normal life.
