Hello...
I'm just now restarting the whole program. I'm 38 years old and have had anxiety problems since I was 25. I did this program in my early 30's and had really good results from it. Last Jan. after a really stressful move I had a horrible panic attack in the middle of the night. Thought I was having a heart attack. Now I never had issues with my panic attacks involving my heart. It was more like I'm going to faint or freak out kind of thing. Now it is different and I have the fast pounding heartbeat thing. Anyway after this one horrible panic attack I had to go to the dr the next day with burning stomach pain. Dr. said I caused e heartburn by getting so upset with my panic attack. He did an EKG on my heart...said it was fine and gave my a rx for heartburn. I'm still having problems with worrying over my heartbeat (I'm also in perimenopause and I think that is also bringing all this back) but now I seem to always get bad heartburn whenever I get stressed out or anxiety.I never had this before so that has me worried. So does anyone else have problems with heartburn with anxiety attacks? And it like my chest is burning and then I get scared that it is my heart. The thing is though is thatit went away for 2 months and I just last week went to try a new dr. and she mentioned...your heart is beating really fast. I told her thats because I get nervous at the dr.s anyway...she did another EKG on me which she said came out fine but showed that my heartbeat was fast, so she basically got me Thinking about maybe the heartburn is related to my heart.Well after that visit (which I went to feeling pretty good) I started noticing my heart beating fast and have like a burning pain in my chest with "burping" so its like I got scared or just having someone mention "my heart beating fast" got me all worked up again. Sorry to ramble, but I'm obsessing over this, Anyone else have this????
