    Hello,

    I don't know if you are still on this site, but I feel

    Like I was reading a post I wrote myself when reading yours. I went through a similar thing while pregnant (daughter is 21 months). I suffer from extreme health anxiety regarding my heart and breathing. I would like to talk further if you are interested. I'm currently seeking help for all this!

    I know this post was a while ago but im new to this it all started almost 2 month ago i took a bad panick attack i had never had one before i then exeperienced palptations all the time they now arent so bad but i have been to 2 doctors gotten blood tests and they came back fine both doctors have said it is anxiety but im scared incase it is not i feel as if im getting worse? Im constantly worried i have daily physical symptoms feel out of place get numbness chest pain and palptations and sometimes almost take panick attacks. I now struggle to sleep at nights. I was just wondering if anyone had any advice please ? I really dont want to take medication for it. And i now have it jn my head i wont feel at ease untill i have a ekg or some other tests? Does this sound like anxiety?

    Thanks x

    Hello,I know this has been over a year ago, but I read your comment and I am dealing with something very similar.  Are you feeling better?  I'm having a rough go at it currently.  I'm done with my heart obsession, now it's cerebral hemorrhage fears....I feel like I'm having panic attack on top of panic attack.  I manage to float through and do the best I can for my family, but I'm not as happy as I should be--my life is happy.  I'm going to try some doctors that are more versed in hormone or natural care and see if it helps.  I should do cbt, just hard to scrabble up some funds for several sessions.  ok, I hope you figured it out and are as happy as a clam.  thanks for posting.

    I completely understand and i suffer from the same thing due to heart problems and vascular problems so sorry I will look for tips for it and maybe you can give me some too! I'm 27 years old my name is Brittany and I have a 3 year old son and run a large taxi company and I'm constantly scared and full of anxiety and questions with no answers which only makes it worse. I will pray for you!
