Hi. This is 34 yr old male, married, 2 kids. I have always been anxious about my health but last 7 months have been terrible. From upset stomach, to throat pain, to chest pain, left arm pain, feeling like heart attack, muscle twitching, fearing als, fast heart beat, fearing high blood pressure. Pain in leg, fearing blood clot. And now the most recent, i have pressure arround ears and in temples. Mainly it is on the right side but sometimes both sides. Along with it i get weird feeling in the head as if something is moving inside. Sometimes there is a sharp pain in the temples that comes and goes. These weird feelings in head and head and temple pressure get worse after walking or jogging.
I have had cbc, chest xray, ekg, stress test (ETT), Echo, Lipid Profile test, other blood tests, stomach CT scan, leg ultrasound to check for clots (dvt). All tests came clear.
Now i dont know what to do? Go for more tests like mri for headaches? Or convince myself it is just anxiety and nothing else? Please help and suggest.

It's definitely just anxiety but I don't know because I'm a hypochondriac and I think there is always something wrong, I'd say go if you have the money and it will ease your stress.

I'm in the same boat. Any twitch or odd feeling in my body sends me into a panic, and a couple hours ago I woke up to a rapid heart rate and my stomach was rolling. Took me that long to calm down. How do I come with health anxiety?

I've had a subtle tightness in my left chest area, aches in my left arm, and one instance of pain in said arm that lasted for hours. I feel cold and I sweat a lot, and this morning as I stated my heart was racing, I felt a split second squeezing sensation over my heart and my mind was racing. I went to the hospital and got tested for heart attack but the tests came back negative.

Sometimes I get small pressure spots in different areas of my head and I am one hundred percent convinced it is a stroke and that sends me into a panic, sometimes I get really bad heart arrhythmia and that also messes me up because that can causes heart attack and strokes if it goes on to long, recently I have felt like I have Alzheimer's or dementia, I think I have been under so much anxiety and stress that I am losing my mind. Like you I have been to the doctors and ER countless times and they said it was nothing. If you want my honest opinion, get it under control before you get DP/DR disorder like me. ?Once you get that which is a direct result of a massive break down or anxiety it's almost never goes away and I'm not trying to scare you.

I think i can relate to this "different pressure spots in different parts of head". I experience the same. Sometimes o feel pressure/pain behind my ears. Sometimes it is in my temples. Sometimes back of the head. Most of the time the pain is on right side of head. Sometimes its on left and sometimes both sides. The pressure points keep changing. Do you experience the same?
