I had been having chest pains so I went to my doctor. Since Im only 22 he thought it was just stress but had me go through a string of tests anyway. Blood test, chest x ray, EKG etc. The works! Well I just got back from my EKG, Echo and stress test and everything is completely normal! Im so happy although all alone I knew there would be nothing. Actually Im better than normal I have low blood pressure and a strong heart! Im so glad that I wasnt freaking out at the doctor and now I know that its just stress and I create symptoms. I hope it can be a lesson for others!

I am glad you were okay. I have been through all those tests also. I know the relief you feel. Hugs!!

Jocie, that's great that you are OK!!

I also (I'm 37) have had all those tests....twice in the last 2 months (two different ER visits and being admitted). Chest discomfort/pain is one of my worst and most-feared anxiety symptoms. Part of me still fears the docs have missed something, but I also know they have not. I"m working on the program and getting better at talking myself down when I feel the anxiety coming.

Good luck to you!

Jocie, I went through the same test. All came back good. I had chest pain most of the time. Figured out it was stress related. Don't know if it was getting a clean bill of health or I started taking paxil but I'm relatively pain free.
