I'm 6', 200. I workout constantly, or at least I did until I started getting some returning symptoms of what I thought was my impending doom as I had my first panic attack at work 3 weeks ago. I'm very active and have been getting in great shape to be a police officer. I take good care of my body, I don't smoke and drink rarely.
For the past 3 weeks I've had feelings of a week heartbeat and I feel like my heart will just give out at any moment. I've had a few panic attacks and the first two gave me chest pain that I couldn't replicate by trying to get my heart rate up. I went to see my gp who told me I'm too young to have a heart attack and prescribed me some anti anxiety meds but paroxetine and Ativan. The Ativan works pretty well when I feel my heart is starting to do weird things and then it goes back to normal. ---these symptoms aren't new. A year and a half ago I suffered from different symptoms but still cardiac related which prompted me to get an echo which came back totally normal. However, I can't convince myself it's just in my head.
I need to get back into the gym and running but I'm afraid I'm going to have something happen to me if I do at the gym. I've recently had an ekg which came back normal as well but I can't help but keep noticing my heartbeat. I'm obsessing over it. Please give me some insight!
