Heart again.. sigh

[Kari7495]

Today has been awful lol. I have this weird pain in my chest on the left side that feels like an electric shock almost ? And I just feel sick. Chest pain, heart pain. It's just not good.

I'm not sure how much longer I can take my anxiety :/ i feel like im dying 24/7. I'm in therapy. On meds. Is this really what my life is going to be like ?

I was told I had Bipolar and I know I have ocd. It seems like it's just more added to the mental health list and I'm sick of it :/. Its just more obstacles and I'm just tired. Super tired of this.

I'm scared to go outside, I'm scared to go away from my house. I have physical symptoms all day almost. When does it end :/

I can’t totally relate I’m not having heart issues but my stuff is just as bad worried this is it for me. Hope you get to feeling better soon!! I don’t even leave my couch anymore except for work

Does your therapist know all of these things? Some people don't open up to their therapist fully, but the therapist's help is only as good as the information you provide. If you have talked about all these things, what did your therapist say about it?

Is that chest pain localized? Can you point to where it is?

Kari, this isn't going to be what your life looks like. Psychiatric treatment is better and more advanced than ever.

Hi Kari,
I totally relate . I used to fixate on cancer - now it's the heart.
I am one week on generic celexa - working a little bit - but I'm still thinking about the heart. Hoping the thoughts will decrease as the med settles in. Not sure if you considered medication?

I am a heart worrier too. Cognitive behavior therapy has really made a huge difference for me. I am waiting to start effexor xr . The celexa didn't work for me. Don't give up.

I get the bad chest pain with anxiety too, always right before bed when it's most inconvenient! It helps me to remind myself of how physical anxiety is and how unlikely it is that there is actually something medically wrong with my heart. Still, very hard to deal with and I feel your pain for sure
