Anxiety Vs Heart Attack
Anxiety vs heart attack chest discomfort?
Hi,
I have been suffering anxiety for a good 5 years now on and off. My latest episode has been me worrying about having a heart attack. I had a chest x-ray, blood work and an ECG done and everything was normal (this was about a month ago). However, I feel this pressure/tightness in the chest pretty much the whole day. I keep worrying that it might be a heart attack. If I had tests done about a month ago, is there any chance that my current chest discomfort is heart attack-related?
How does chest discomfort differ between anxiety and heart attack? Given my case, should I be worried? I have given the thought of going to the ER but my rational side thinks that that would be a waste.
Thanks!
If it was a heart attack, there'd be "an elephant standing on your chest"
When your left arm goes numb, call 911.
Anxiety attacks are pros at mimicking heart attacks. Trust me. I've dealt with it.
Take a deep breath, you're going to be OK.
