I keep worring im going to have a heart attack or cardiac arrest

[Jessie]

I keep calling the ambulance for panic attack thinking I'm having a heart attack or cardiac arrest and I keep looking up my symptoms on Google and it always points to something bad and the hospital refuses to do further test on me besides the basic ones and feel like they don't take me seriously

Firstly, The doctor should always take you seriously no matter what and not discredit your anxiety. Even if your not suffering from heart problems, you are clearly having panic attacks and those are very uncomfortable. I legit couldn't walk once and lied on the floor in my house with people surrounding me thinking I was having a heart attack so I UNDERSTAND. The less you focus on your heart beat the better.

Don't trust the ER to run every test in the book. Try and set up with a general practitioner and go from there! You will get much better care as clinics typically have much better quality of physicians than ER's do

Hi Ruke. I'd try to concentrate on handling your panic attacks. After many years I've learned to lie down on a bed and keep telling myself "Just a panic attack, not going to die." It took years but I don't even worry about the next attack.
