Hi jessica , Hope you're doing better , sorry to hear what you have been going through. I guess i am sailing in the same boat . I am 27 years old and going through Cardiophobia ( probably this is the term they used to diagnose us) its been over 5-6 months now , it started with simple gastritis issues , then every now and then i use to get chest pains , and would you believe I have consulted over 5-6 doctors by now , had gone through several tests and the reports came normal , right now one of the doc says i have muscle spasm and anxiety both (i told him i am getting pain over 8-10 hours a day ) from past 10-15 days ( and i guess anxiety cant produce pain for that long ) Whenever i read a.news someone who died of a heart attack , i freak out , some times panic attack.
sometimes i thought it is all gone , i am.normal now and then it comes up more strong and added up with new symptoms . Glad to know there are some people out there ( but ofcourse i would want everyone to be normal again ) who can understand my situation and i can theirs .
Just hold tight , we have to stay strong and you have your babies to take care of too. Eventually we will overcome this . DM me if you would like to share your symptoms or when you get panic or anything else for that matter . And yes try yoga or exercise in daily basis , it might help. Hope we all get better soon.

Indeed it is hard to go through this over and over. Can you tell me if you have had any other symptoms beside chest pains?

I have the same fears. My panic attacks started when I had chest pains one night and I thought I was going to die. I still get chest pains, chest pressure and palpitations. I have also seen a few different doctors and they all say it's anxiety. I've also had blood work and an EKG and was told I am healthy. At one point I was too scared to get out of bed because I thought I would have a heart attack.
I wish nobody had to go through this, but you aren't alone.

I have been going through this exact issue for months now. Had so many tests on my heart, bought an at home pocket size ECG which I have by my side 24/7, Pulse Oximeter and Blood Pressure Machine. I have an extreme fear related to my heart and every single day convinced this is the day I have the Heart Attack or Cardiac Arrest. I too get skipped beats and I feel every single one of them. I am 24, Female and my BMI is perfect yet I have this irrational fear all day every day my heart is gonna give out. I have a fast heart rate and it varies so much. It can be as low as 50BPM when sleeping but my main "resting" is around 75BPM. Standing up and doing basic activities it will be 115-120 easily. I have been told this is all perfectly normal for me but still I am fixated that there is a problem. It is really sad and such an awful thing to go through every day. This all started because a friend of my partners died suddenly of a Heart Attack at 28 and it threw me off the edge and ever since my life has come to a stand still and I have been unable to function because of this irrational fear. I can sympathise with you so much because it honestly destroys your life. All i would say is that if you have had all the tests done try to move on from it and try to look at it objectively. You have had more checkups on your heart than the average person so therefore have the reassurance of your heart health than most of the population. Stay strong, it does get easier 😃

Hi Milao , Hope you are doing better . If i may, ask can you tell me how long you have been going through this , and what kind of symptoms do you have ? Have you tried anything which kinda helps out get through this or help you to distract when you start getting pain.
thank you
