Hi Tammy, That's great there is nothing wrong with your heart! I'm still very concerned because I have pains in my chest all the time and palpitations and other weird stuff. I am 26 and to be quite honest did not have this heart issue until I started studying it in school (nursing). So I'm hoping it is just the power of suggestion that has done this to me but I am not really convinced of this. Celexa seems to be kicking in and I am less anxious about things in general, though still very anxious. I started having panic attacks a year and a half ago when I was overseas travelling. I had some panic attacks as a teen but nothing like I experience now.

Hi Sarah, I think they have determined nothing is wrong with my heart. I have been doing really good last 2 or 3 weeks but feeking kinda anxious tonight I think maybe zoloft is helping but I am also taking 5 mg xanax daily. I also have a heart murmur that they don't think is any concern either. How old are you and long have you suffered from this. I am 41 and just had first attack march this year, I think sometimes it seems worse aroumd my period time so I was thinking it might be hormonal also. Keep me posted! And try to relax and I will too!

Thanks Debbie. I am trying not to worry and I think the Celexa is kicking in because I don't feel so OVERWHELMINGLY anxious even when I do feel these symptoms. The next 5 weeks are going to be rough ones because I have to wait for my tests. Anyways, the cardiologist thinks my symptoms are likely just anxiety. But try telling me that at 3am when I can't sleep and my left arm feels like it's going to blow up and my heartpounds so hard for no good reason!! God, does this ever suck!

Hi Sara That is something that drives me crazy as well - if I am experiencing any kind of anxiety especially at night, it feels as though my heart is beating so hard it is vibrating my body - the pains have pretty much gone away thank god - I also find that I cannot lay on my left side because then I can really feel my ehart pounding. I think we are way too tuned into our body functions and hear what other people dont pay the slightest attention to. I am pretty sure that a heart murmur is no big thing - dont stress it too much - (I know - way easier said than done) and the time will pass until your tests are scheduled and the results are in - if it woldnt freak you out too much, look online for information about murmurs - I find that if I am in doubt about something it eases my mind to find all the information I can about the potential condition - at least I feel like I am in some sort of control. If you ever want to chat, let me know your email address and I will be happy to share and listen anytime - we will get through this - if it dont kill you it will make you stronger!!! Hang in there! Debbie

Hi Debbie, Thanks for responding. I am really worried now because I saw the cardiologist yesterday and he said I have a heart murmer-he said it's probably benign but I will get a holter test, echo, and stress test done to make sure. I have to wait 5 weeks till these tests are all completed and I'm going out of my m,ind with worry! It's the worst at night-squeezing pain in my left arm, pain and pounding in my chest and then sometimes my I can't feel my heart beating and that really freaks me out because I think maybe it's stopped beating!!! I am so scared to fall asleep because I feel like I will die. I can't even get to sleep now until I am so exhausted from worrying that I just pass out-I only get enough sleep, about 4 or 5 hours, to give me the energy needed to worry about this again!! I really would pay someone $2000.00 right now if I could get these tests done this week so I could have some peace of mind. I feel like I want to go to the emergency every night. If anyone has advice or similar experience, please respond. Debbie, I'm so glad you are here to tell about your experience. I hope I will be so lucky! Sarah

Hi Sara I had a really really bad time in September with unrelenting attacks - I have had them since 1982 but they seem to come in spurts like every 10 years or so to remind me of the awfulness they can be in your life - and the worst part of this last episode was the burning and discomfort in my chest and arms and upper back - I went to a cardiologist myself and had the ekg, echo and nuclear stress test - all normal - my pressure had been very high when I went to see these doctors (of couse I was having what seemed to be continual panic attacks at that time so I do beleive that will raise your pressrue) so I am on blood pressure medication - I dont know why these attacsk manifested themselves so much in my chest - that was the scariest thing that has happened to me in my entire history of having them because I was convinced that it had to be heart related - so far I am still here to tell the tale and have had a few weeks of relief - thank god for this site and the program. Debbie

Hi Tammy, What a coincidence. I was just going to write a post about my problems with my heart. I have a lot of pain in my heart and surrounding area most of the time. I am so worried that it is just going to stop beating. Because I was a nursing student until the beginning of this month when the agoraphobia took over my life, I have learned a lot about cardiac conditions--a fuel for the panic fire. My EKG test was normal other than a short PR interval. My doc and the doc in the ER said that was nothing to worry about but when I was looking through one of my nursing texts, it said otherwise. I brought it up with my doc (who's amazing) and he sent me for another EKG which was normal but the PR interval was minimally normal. I am seeing a cardiologist on Monday, thank god, I have been waiting 3 weeks so I know what you're going through. You should find out what was abnormal in your EKG and remember everyone's is a little bit different and not every abnormality indicates an impending heart attack. I know that doesn't even matter when you're worried and you feel your heart pounding and skipping beats. What a horrible feeling! Anyways, i wish you luck. Sorry this is so long. Does anyone else have these heart pains? They even go into my back and my arm. Thanks, Sarah

Thanks Jay I am feeling a little better now, I had a xanax,your support means alot. I thought the same thing how could they worry someone and make them wait a week and still have not set up the test considering I have panic attacks. Your right I am sure they would have put in hospital if they thought it was urgent.Take care
