Health anxiety

I'm not exactly sure if this is related to my anxiety
I was sleeping just fine except with a little chest discomfort that when I held I felt a bit better then all of a sudden I got this really sharp pain under my chin then I freaked out.bthen I was having chest pain in sternum that went into right ribs and back and shoulder blades.
I thought I'd tried to get up and I just felt like I couldn't breathe and when I stood up it almost felt like I was drinking he night before like I was a bei light headed and my eyes felt all weird and they still do just sitting here o still have shortness of breath also racing heart that slowed once I sat down. Just feels like my pulse is slow now and that my heart is going to just stop at any moment and I'm extremely tired.
I'm so worried this is more serious.
I'm 24 with no family history of heart issues and was just in ER 3 days ago had ekg chest X-ray and bloods that they said were all normal I also just turned in my heart monitor yesterday and I'm waiting for those results
I was diagnosed with costochondritis and I have acid reflux.
But what I am experiencing now is all new to me and I'm not sure what to do

I sorry to hear what you're going through but I can't relate and it is so hard to deal with I feel like I can't breathe all day I got her palpitations I have gastritis and something keeps moving under my rib I think I have a hernia I had all this before the only difference is my tachycardia is not acting up just palpitations my medicine is not working I'm usually in the sixties now I'm in the seventies and eighties but this time it started in my stomach not with my heart I'm still trying to figure this all out my doctor raised my medicine but after two weeks it's making me really dizzy making my blood pressure too low I had to go back to my normal dosage which doesn't help my palpitations I still go out to the store and stuff like that but when I do as I walk out the door nervousness starts and it makes everything worse we just got to hang in there and fight and find out what the cause is but if you need somebody to talk to I'm always here

Thank you for replying!! What other things do you experience? Right now I feel I can't breathe like there is something in my airway n I feel like my brain isn't getting oxygen! I am getting back pains and I'm terrified of a blood clot

Ugh it's horrible it's really making me feel like I'm dying like how can I not be after feeling all this.... I don't want to be but in just miserable!!! I get head tightness when I'm going through an attack I just can't passed the feeling of something being in my chest or airway that's going to cause a stroke.... Do I fear strokes?

It is terrible I don't fear anything I've been through all this before any difference now is my heart rate is not going 1:40 so my medicine is working a little bit that's a lot better than what I did I think I 75 milligrams was too much so went back to the 50 but it don't do too much for the palpitations waiting for my doctor to set up a CT scan to see if I have a hernia and something is moving underneath my rib that may be the cause of all my problems but I've been fighting it every day when I went shopping today I can't wait to be down my anxiety acting up so bad soon as I walk out the door everything starts to tighten it sucks it's almost midnight here I fell asleep around 8 and slept 3 hours cuz once I eased up I was so tired

But medication not working as far as palpitations I take my metoprolol 50 milligrams twice a day I just got off 75 milligrams today I was taking it for two and a half weeks but it started making me really dizzy like I was going to pass out well when you're done with all your test if it comes back find that it is just anxiety

Yes I'm still waiting on the results the last cr scan I had was in August so I'm worried something could have happened in my body since then 😳 I'm just so achy and stuff and can't breathe! I hate taking meds because I just feel like they make me worse sometimes!

Yeah I won't take anxiety meds but don't get yourself all worked up just wait for the results I don't even worry anymore I'm not afraid to die which I know this ain't going to kill me so I want to know what's causing it so I can fix it but I'm not afraid but my body still act like it does with anxiety

I'm kind of scared to die like I don't want to leave my kids because they need me and I need them more I guess I'm more scared of what happens after we die ya know! As long as my results come back fine I won't worry anymore!

Well don't worry now why worry about something and you don't even know if anything's wrong more or less it's probably just anxiety don't get yourself worked up over something that you don't even know yet

Yeah it's so hard not to fear the worst when we live with these pains and sensations daily! I am trying to tell myself that I have been checked and that everything was all cleared so I need to chill out lol worrying is making it worse! I hate thinking what are they missing it drives me crazy thinking about it all!
Right now all I wish I could do is just move on from it all! And try to get past all these symptoms!
I was told I have fibromyalgia and costochondritis they're both linked ... Do you have these? Maybe ask a doctor about it and have them check you they're pretty hard to diagnose and they're not life threatening just can be the cause of all ur pains! Especially if all ur major tests come back clear!

I haven't been checked for fibromyalgia... My Mom and Aunt and grandma have it. I go yet again to the Dr in 2 weeks.. I feel like she is gonna think Im a hypochondriac or something. Im just tired and want relief. I never feel rested go to bed anxious and worrying.. wake up the same.

I've been in tthe breathing was getting better and it's kinda back tonight but I went out last night with my husband and the in laws we went drinking and I may have drank too much because this morning I was so dehydrated and dizzy and puking yellow green stuff so obviously that made me panic a bit... I also had chest pain with the puking last night and my hubby reassured me I was fine and then this morning I was still puking but when I would puke I would get heart palpitations and I'd sweat a lol bit so I've been worried about that all day.... Other than that tho I was doing ok I was getting around the house more and being more active cleaning and stuff... Half the time no i don't have help with my kids... Friday I went in for a cr scan to check my abdomen and check for a hernia I believe or something that can explain this sob so I should know more by Monday hopefully!!
