    i went to ER in March they took all kinds of heart tests said my heart was fine . Right after that my periods became irregular and I have this overwhelming anxiety that I have never had before. I keep feeling like I am gonna die!! Cant get to doc until August because of Covid!! All my symtoms point to peri!! But my brain keeps telling me I am having a heart attack and ignoring the symtoms!! My bra feels like it is strangling me most of time! When I see these other posts it helps me to know I am not nuts!!!

    omg I have this terrible symptoms too .it feels like my diaphragm is squeezed tight that I can't breath. also chest pain and pain in upper left back and left rib front. I'm so scared and feel horrible when this happens. i feel like I can't even swallow food or chew as if going to choke or something. i want to go to hospital but scared to go because of covid. had everything checked back in January and was fine but still it is scary when it happens. also worst worst worst depression ever. crying all day:(
