    Considering that your grandad passed away yesterday, I think that it is probably your grief causing you acute anxiety Steph.

    I am very sorry to hear that you are experiencing this horrible experience, and my heart goes out to you in this very difficult time for you.

    Steph, 

    I have gone through all of this. I actually went for heart tests and blood tests because I thought I was dying. The symtoms were awful. As you describe, and a bit more. I have since dealt with even more, or an onslot of grief, one after another. But, by focusing on my will to overcome, and making changes that weren't easy, the pains and migraines have started to subside, and I have an overall positive outlook. I still have some light agoraphbia and panic attack issues -- after nightmares or after reflecting on the past oo much. They are light now, but they were unbearable. My advice is get the pysical issues checked out, be honest with help, and focus on looking for love laughter and meaning -- for yourself, and for the memories of the loved ones we lose. They don't want us to be in tough spots. Focus on goals, future, and maybe try meditation. Take it all with a grain of salt though. I have had trouble looking for help, and I find just talkign to people is my number one relief, so these discussions are actually good for me. Best wishes.
