I can ignore mostly all the other symptoms but when it comes to my heart I'm in constant fear! I get flutters, twitches and palpitations and it's so hard to ignore. I wake up with what feels like pain in my heart. Does anyone else deal with this? If so how do you ignore it?

twitches, fluttering, i have them too. sometimes i m really aware of ny heartbeat that i get in panic mode. i have the pain you describe too. just so you know... you are not alone. for me this is the hardest to ignore, try being active with something see if that helps.

I don't respond to everything on here, but when I see people who worry about their heart I feel I have to because I'm in the same boat.
Sometimes if I get really bad palpitations it's nearly enough to bring on a full blown panic attack, I've had bad chest pains that have actually stopped me in my tracks, like a lightning bolt through my left pec.
But as I've shared with a few fellow heart worriers on these pages, I've done CBT and basically been made aware that if it was bad it would have happened by now.
I've had countless ecg's and wore 24 hour heart monitors and everything was fine.
If you feel it's getting you down you could ask for some of these tests just for your peace of mind.
All the best

I'm in a very similar boat as I strted to expereince chest pains last year and after 2 visits to A&E (diagnosed with anxiety related chest pain) , numerous ECGs, 24 hour heart monitor, echo cardiogram and cardio MRI (diagnosed with a heart murmur), I still worry about my heart. I have had a 6 week course of dealing with worry and felt fine for a few weeks and then it just starts again.

Try and do something to distract you like listen to music, sit out in the garden, easier said than done I know. Your not alone. X
