Yeah, I get indigestion as well (that has nothing to do with the amount of pizza I eat...no...I need to eat more veggies) and that was really the first time I properly freaked out. I felt a little (really little, looking back) pain in my chest and then my heart started racing so I was convinced that I was about to have a heart attack (nevermind that I'm 16) and I ran into my mom's room and ended up staying awake until 4 am and skipping school.
That was kinda the start and it's been 2 months now. It's kinda become habit to constantly check my heart to see how fast/strongly it's beating to the point that I've gotten a lot of "are you okay?" comments. It's just kind of habit/security, I can't really explain it.
I am going to a therapist but I haven't figured out how to talk to her because she kind of scares me (she never says anything back to me; she just sits there and stares so I don't know how to respond/continue the discussion. She also, accidentally, makes me feel like I'm annoying her)
I always go to my regular check ups, but I don't think I've ever had more anxiety than when I have to go to the doctor because my entire mind is telling me that they're going to find breast cancer or lung cancer (or worse, they'll miss it). I've had blood and urine tests done and they came back 100% normal (my cholesterol was actually lower than expected) but it doesn't seem to do anything.
Sorry for another word vomit!
