Surely this is heart problems and not exiety? Please help
Posted , 3 users are following.
I have had a lot of shooting pains in my chest and got rushed to hospital a few weeks ago.
Got ECG x ray and blood tests all came back find. I am continuing getting chest pain all over shooting most of the time.
The main worry is i have been up from 4am this morning, keep feeling like my heart was waking me up with a shot. I have been working at the gym the last week and usually when i leave my heart rate is 130/140 when i am cooling down and around 100 when i am not active but today it started at 110 after hard work out then within minutes the machine said 58.
I was terrified, i walked staright out and never showered and went to doctors who said your fine your heart rate is 80 at the moment but i will get you a heart trace.
All medical staff feel like there is nothing wrong and it could be the machine at the gym was broke but how is my heart rate down to 80 and how am i getting the pain in chest again.
Any advise would be great, nervous wreck and scared to sleep.

Thanks for your reply. I hope it is anixety i have never been diagnosed but had so many problems over the last year and they all lead back to anxiety.
Surely the heart rate would be not be down to axiety maybe a faulty machine? and the pains are supposedly acid.Even when i feel my heart rate it is lower.

I'll post this again:
Physiologically, your body is reacting the same way it would in a state of fear - overwhelming tension. To reduce the fear, learn to control your breathing.If the tension is in your chest, don't do what a lot of therapists advise and breathe into your diaphragm - breathe into your chest (because that's where the tension is) and take as much air in as possible through your mouth. Take in as much air as your lungs can physically allow.
Hold that breath for 7 seconds. Breathe out slowly and then once all of the air has left your body, don't breathe in again for 11 seconds. Repeat as many times as necessary until the tension in your chest has been alleviated.
Your head may feel dizzy - don't worry about it. Go with it. It will relax you. Make you feel slightly euphoric. You may feel tingling in your fingers and toes (also symptoms of heart attack) - don't worry about it. Go with it. That's 'good air' making it's way into your blood stream, flowing around your body, telling you to relax.
Hope that helps.
