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. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I was diagnosed with anxiety about 2 years ago when I thought I was having a heart attack. At the time, I was in a very stressful job, didn't like where I lived (not near my family) and felt pressure to perform on the job or I'd be fired. Since then, I have changed jobs (new company) and moved closer to my family with my husband. This job is virtually stress free relative to the previous. I work about 45 hours a week instead of 60+. I love that I can visit my family and be there for them as things happen. Overall, I think that my stress is significantly reduced. I have also taken up running (although always exercised) in these last two years and even run ultra events. That running time is usually the best I ever feel. That's the quick summary.
Here I am though, significantly less stress, on Klonapin, running, doing some yoga to keep limber and relax....and I still have tremendous chest pain. I have had episodes where my left arm goes numb, where my heart feels like it's squeezing so bad it's going to burst and tremendous heaviness and pressure in my chest. I can't make it go away in the course of the day. Once I get home and work out, I feel amazing. But then I can lay down at night on the sofa to wind down and watch some TV and feel the pain out of nowhere. It immobilizes me. Is this ever going to go away? What else can I do?
I started exercizing even more than I already was and tried to de-stress. The feeling of breathlessness persisted. Had every test imagineable run and was told I have the heart, lung, and circulatory function of a healthy teen(even though I was 33 at the time). Wasn't overworked. The only thing I was dealing with was the separation of my wife and I. I then later was told I have a form of silent GERD or LPR along with, likely, latent anxiety that sneaks from out of nowhere.
Using natural alternatives and lifestyle modifications, I've managed by the grace of God to overcome most of that feeling that began that night in 2015. Nearly fully recovered.
Still, check with your GP and have all the tests run and run again.
Maybe I need to try a different GP?
Another suggestion is gerd.
I would expect your anxiety symptoms to go. Mine went. But my gallbladder symptoms didn't. :D
