Cardiophobia

Posted , 10 users are following.

hey guys! so I've been doing some research because I suffer with health anxiety badly and my main concern has always been my lingering chest pain. I didnt realise there is a specific anxiety called cardiophobia where someone lives in fear of there heart packing up or something being wrong. well this is me! and it apparently will constantly cause chest pains and mimic heart problems to basically trick you because I'm convinced in my head that there is an issue there.. my question is has anyone else had this particular thing or very similar and is that really possible?! that even on my calmer days I still get little shooting pains and things - why would the brain play tricks even when I think I'm calm?! is it because I've got myself in a constant state of panic? before anyone asks yes ive had tests, multiple ecgs, bloods and chest xrays.

    I've been dealing with this for almost 9 months. At 33 I had what every description in every book would be perceived as a heart attack. I was grossly over weight, sleep deprived, stressed to my limits, dealing with the aftermath of a lay off and a divorce... I wasn't in a good place.

    After having every test done, every last vial drawn and scan / sono / xray that i could have done, i was cleared. Though hypertensive, for all other intensive purposes i was fine.

    9 months later, I've lost 150lbs, maintained as healthy of a lifestyle including diet and excercise as I could. And yet, i still have that feeing that every pain, tingle, weird feeing is about to absolutely end me.

    Im in a constant state of paranoia and at this point i cant tell if what im feeling is manifested or real. ive had 3 seperate ER Visits at the request of my PCP after telling him about my perceived symptoms. Now im in medical debt, anyone that is or was close to me has told me that they "honestly just font want to hear it" or tired of the fact that i cant just relax and have fun when ever we're all out together .

    I know alot if not all of it is in my head, just dont know how to stop it i never thought there was an actual name for it. "cardiophobia" but thats what my chronic overthinking and paranoia does... it makes me read into things and google symptoms and do sef checks every hour or more.

    The shear sense of panic i felt realizing that i got off a plane in another state without having packed my cuff and o2sat monitor was the most ridiculous ive ever felt (in hindsight). I even went out and bought a whole set of instruments that day.

    i dont know how to turn it off. ive tried breathing excersises, meditation, almost everything short of meds.

    i cant be the only one that thinks this way.... right?
