Hi Dawr, I can really relate to this! I have a lot of heart-related anxiety symptoms too (palpitations, chest pain etc etc) and I was really worried about this. On top of that, panic attacks can mimic symptoms of an actual heart attack, so it is a really scary situation.

I would definitely talk to your doctor about this and have your heart checked out thoroughly. I did this and it has helped me. I had several heart tests and they all came back normal. I have to say that I STILL get these anxiety-related heart symptoms and it sucks!! But, I do worry about them less now. I would really encourage you to go to your doctor for a physical exam and to talk to him/her about this.

Let us know how you get on!

Wishing you all the very best.
