hey guys! I am 18 years old and have had anxiety for a couple years now. I had a whole heart anxiety scare last year with my skipped heart beats, but my ECG and Holter monitor results came out fine, and my doctors said it was anxiety. Today, I was just laying down and near where my left ventricle of my heart is, i felt a slight squeeze/quivering feeling for like one second, and it freaked me out and sent me back to the dark place i was in last year,

Is this normal? Thanks!

    very very very normal. You are not going to die. This is what anxiety is like. You over-monitor every little thing that happens in your body and then take it to an extreme. You will be okay. It is just anxiety and anxious thoughts. It is nervous arousal, that's all. It feels horrible but will do you no harm whatsoever. Have a warm bath, be kind to yourself, distract yourself with a book or movie, don't look online. Love and best wishes xx
