hey everyone,

i am new to this forum. actually this is my first forum post ever. i have been suffering from anxiety and panic attacks for 9 years and have had 4 really bad episodes during that time. these episodes last for weeks before i start feeling "normal" again. i am currently in my 5th week of hell. i take meds and i am waiting for them to build up again. the waiting sucks.

my question is, does any have a constant, nagging worry about their heart? i have been to the emergency room and doctor's numerous times with normal ekg's and holter monitor readings. i am scheduled for a stress echo tomorrow (which i am worried sick about). hopefully that will be normal as well. despite the testing and normal results, i am constantly worried that there is something wrong with my heart and that is just going to stop beating. i know that sounds strange, but does anyone else have this kind of worry? if so, what do you do to silence the little nagging voice in your head? any advice/suggestions/help would be appreciated. i feel like i just keep going in circles in my head and it is really frustrating.

thanks and happy holidays
