Posted , 3 users are following.

Hi everyone so im scared to death about this. i do have some anxiety related problems like all day i dont feel chest pains sometimes , sometimes flutters in chest and also indigestion and lightheadedness .Doctors say its health anxiety but its hard to believe them ! the scariest part is sometimes i get this wierd feeling in the chest left side middle it feels like the heart is sinking and im going to collapse then the heart rate goes up like really up and i get a weird feeling in the nose and my heart feels as its closing sinking and fluttering i just cant put into words how bad it is . i have gone to A&E so many times but by the time they do the ECG it goes away !!

has anyone ever got these weird feeling out of no where when you first feel something in the chest cant put it into words but its so strange like your heart is moving around and closing down like its fluttering or flying in the chest like with wind then a fast heart rate and it feels like a heart attack but no pain with light headedness! it just feels like your heart is sinking!! and lasts like 30 minutes or so

im so scared i have it now and then and it totally feels like your about to die!! PLEASE HELP

    Hi. these are purely symptoms of anxiety. Although they feel awful they wont hurt you. Try some deep breathing when it happens. It will help to slow down all the sensations

      anxiety is awful. it makes you feel unwell but we are not ill we have a disorder of fear and we cant switch off our flight or flight feelings. Have you tried some relaxation breathing ? Have you had any medication in the past? im trying a method online which is to cure anxiety. i will let you know how it goes.
