Hi I'm new on here and I can relate to the anxiety-panic attack with chest pain...this is really scary and the problem is that you are scared that it may be your heart even though the Doctor claims that it isn't because I seem to have all of the symptoms of a heart attack or stroke. Having anxiety is the worst feeling.

Chest pain is my main symptom with my panic/anxiety. I get them all of the time as well as heart palpitations. I've been convincing myself for years that I am going to die of a heart attack or some kind of blood clot in my lungs/chest. When I obsess on the symptoms, they get worse and worse. I have been seeing a psychiatrist and CBT therapist for 2+ years. I've been to a cardiologist twice, multiple ER visits, almost to every specialist under the sun. I'm 28 and healthy, but convince myself I'm not. Its a really frustrating struggle and people find it difficult to understand that now my anxiety stems from my physical symptoms. I'd love to say it will pass, but until you learn to accept that it is anxiety and won't hurt you, the symptoms will persist. You need to continue life as normal and have faith that you are ok, as hard as that sounds.

Hi everyone,

I to after 24 years started to have moderate to severe anxiety the past couple weeks where I also ended up in the er. They gave me .25 Xanax. Which calmed me down. Went to my gp the next day who suggested I start back on Paxil. I have been off it since 2009. This is one thing I do not want to do!!! I have had days where I feel perfect and then bam, here it comes. I am going to make a appt with a therapist as I am 100% against pill popping. Right now I only take a 1/2 of a .25 Xanax if needed. Thanks for listening
