Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread.

I missed my Dr appointment today to get my offical dionoment for fibro. I feel like crap right now. I am freaking out because I am having Chest or breast cramps and my jaw hurts and yes basic heart attack like symotoms on and off. If it were a real heart attack I would know because they wouldn't stop after a 20 or 30 minutes right?? I am scared I have no way to get to the er and my hubby won't let me call ask a nurse cause they will tell me to go in and I am unsure how to get home if it was just an anxiety atrtack.
Please some one talk to me and help me calm down. It is part of my fibro my mom has this also but I am new to it and scared. I really wish I had made it in today.

So sorry to hear you're struggling. Fears about a heart attack are a really common problem with panic/anxiety. Have you had your heart checked out by a doc? If so you've probably been given the all clear and you may be able to take some comfort from that?
Tackling panic and anixety can be so hard but I think at th heart of it is trying to work out exactly what the thoughts going through your head are that are driving the whole thing. I've recently written an entry on my blog panicrelief.co.uk about this. Thake a look and let me know what you think.
Take care

You poor thing. It's not a heart attack. I promise. I think I'm having one all the time and I'm still here, still putting one foot in front of the other and still keeping it all going even though I'm scared and feeling like crap.
You are going to be okay. I know lots of folks with fibro and they are all okay. It's a pain in the butt for sure, but they are okay.
Stick your tongue as far out of your mouth as you can. It will relax your jaw a little bit. Try to do something soothing for yourself-- care for yourself as you would your child, and talk to yourself as if you are your child. I find that helps me quite a bit. Be mommy protector to you.
