Why can I believe there isn't anything wrong with my heart?

I'm in so much pain down left arm and chest that I truly believe something is going on or that I'm gonna drop down dead any one else have these problems

      How long have you had it for? I get the same thing, it seems to get worse and worse or atleast just more often as time goes on. People keep mentioning getting medication to stop it but I don't know if that's a good idea?

    You've had the tests and the good news is there's nothing wrong with your heart. Now you need to train your brain into believing it. Not always easy and I know how frustrating it is as I've been suffering anxiety years and just had an on sudden relapse. I'd go to a gp and tell them everything you are feeling and all of your fears they won't (shouldn't) judge u. Maybe some CBT will help and medication is an option too. Stay strong x
