Yep, I know that feeling well. In fact, I'll be symptom free for a while and suddenly the thing will pop into my mind and the symptom starts again. If that isn't proof that its the mind playing tricks, I don't know what is.

There are several reasons why I have chest pains, but so far, it hasn't been my heart. Yesterday it was a superficial pain, probably in my esophagus. The pain would come and go real quick. In fact, I still have it very slightly when I burp. Not a heart attack symptom! LOL But if I let my thoughts get away from me, I'll still get the adrenalin rush. ggrrrrr That in turn makes me feel weak, etc. and the vicious circle starts again. I know it will pass, but in the meantime...

There's no doubt in my mind that all this is because of the stressors in my life right now. There's not much I can do about it except ride it out. Talking to the people involved will only increase the tension and possibly make things worse all around. I've been thinking of posting the things that are bothering me but then I think that it would be too involved. AHH! I don't know. Maybe I should think about it a bit more, but then again... Poop! See what I mean? It just goes round and round! I'll get through it, though. Been doing it for over 20 years.

Thanks for listening, though. I really appreciate it. It helps to have someone to talk to about it.
