So my anxiety is definitely health anxiety as all I ever think about is my heart 24/7 of the day and how it's gonna stop and kill me. My hurt sometimes SUDDENLY Hurts soooooo much and burns and also suddenly I get rapid heart beat. I also feel so fed up with everything!!! Does anyone else feel this way and do you feel like your brain is just constantly thinking about the worse possible scenario sad(((((((( helpppsjsjjsjejejhshsjjsjshsjdjhd

      I'm making an appointment tomorrow and going straight to the doctors- baring in mind I have been to the doctors Several times (I'm only 18) the doctors say it's nothing just gas problems and was adviced to take gaviscon which helped for a while now the symptoms are back as for everything else I say everything comes back to anxiety. I don't care I need a full body scan just to see what's wrong or if there's nothing wrong for reassurance and peace for my mind m- thanks for replying it means a lot to see that people are trying to help!! Xx

     The reason you're having the heart symptoms is because you were stressing out about everything. When you're anxious your brain sends out adrenaline which causes the heart symptoms. Any symptoms that's related to anxiety cannot hurt you. Your heart will not stop because it automatically beats for you and . 

     so your problem is not with your heart, it's with your anxiety. Since all anxiety starts in the brain, you need to relax your mind as much as possible to reduce the symptoms. 

     your worst case scenario thinking is a waste of time. It is not based on actual fact. So you're scaring yourself for no reason and creating symptoms. Listen to a meditation on YouTube called detachment from overthinking. There are also meditations for anxiety, depression, sleep etc.  they completely calm down my mind and body and my symptoms greatly diminish or go away. 

     for peace of mind going to check up with your doctor and explain your symptoms. Then you won't have to feel so anxious.

     The worst thing you can do is sit around and think about all of this because everything will get worse! Get active, get social, do something for someone else, take a walk in nature, do things to relax your mind. 

     you will be fine.

      Great!  I meant to tell you that when I was in my twenties I had your exact same symptoms.  I thought I had a terrible disease.  Well I am now in my fifties and I am still here!!   None of the symptoms hurt me at all or my heart.or anything. 

      Once I got my anxiety under control, by counseling, meditations, getting active, etc.  I regained my peace of mind.

      You can too!??😁
