Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another.

I am so sorry you experienced that, it must have been really frightening. My husband had a heart attack 20 years ago and a couple of times since then we thought he was having another attack and it turned out to be anxiety attacks. They are not caused by the same thing, but they can feel the same because the fear can make you hyperventiate and have pounding and pain in your chest. I hope you figure out what your trigger is and can get it sorted out...hugs jilly

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse.

I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
