HI everyone...I have a obsession with worrying about my heart. I have been to 3 cardiologists over the years and I am seeing a specialists right now and wearing a monitor for the 8th week ina row. My hearts does skip but they tell me it is fine and they put me on a beta blocker to slow it down because I complained so much....I want more then anything to be free from this obsession and be at peace for once in my life and know that my heart is fine and beating just the way it should. No ones heart beats the same or in perfect sink all the time and I just want to stop checking my pulse and obsessing. Anyone have any suggestions or been through the same thing. I just want to find something to free me God bless all...........Laura

I too have obsession over my health. A few weeks ago it was my heart, now for the past three days I think I am getting lock jaw cause my jaw hurts and I was working outside. (nevermind the fact that it usually is sore from clenching)I just try to keep busy and ride it out! It sucks totally. Last year I thought I had it too cause I got stuck with a fishing hook. I am with you I am sure you are fine that's what the doc's say you just gotta get through a little at a time.

Hi honeydew3, I thought I was one of the very few since I started this program that worries about her heart! I have been obsessed with something being wrong with my heart since last year! Don't really have a reason why, I just do. Especially when my chest has some aches in it here and there. I used to check my pulse what seemed like 30 times a day! I still do it, but not as often. Sometimes the obsession will go away, for a little while, especially if there's no aches in my chest, but it always comes back. I too have had blood work, chest xray's, numerous EKG's, and my last test a heart CT scan was done back in feb., I was relieved for a few days, but then I start to worry again. I wish I could just snap out of it, but it's soo hard. I hope we both find relief from this obsession in the near future, especially if there is nothing wrong with our beating healthy hearts!!!
