I have a problem that is destroying my life. I am 27 yrs old, in the military and about 1 year ago I went for a run, about 2 miles. As soon as I completed my run I experienced a sensation that I had never before had, as soon as I completed the run a extreme sense of panic overtook me. I felt a sense that something was wrong and I jumped into my car as to prepare for some catastrophic event. The feeling passed but it frightened me enough that I STOPPED EXERCISING, fearing some sort of undiagnosed condition. About 4 months after this my sergeant Major made me take a PT test, which of course I failed, but did not experience the anxiety afterwards. I started again working out, push ups, sit ups and running with the SGM ( sergeant Major)

Things were going good and I was getting back into shape, until one day after a long run, about four miles I encountered the same experience only worse, I had a sense of something horrible, tingling in the arms, and face and racing heart that would not go down. After an hour I drove myself to the ER and had the routine test. They informed me that I needed to see a cardioligist, and I noticed on my EKG print out it said abnormanl, and they said that I was having palpatations. I seem the doctor he did the stress, echo, and told me that I failed the stress test. He then conducted a heart cath, in which he found nothing. I also wore a holster monitor for 24 hrs... after all this he said that there was nothing wrong with my heart and to return to normal activity.

I has a past history of anxiety and my sisters have it, problem now is I cant even look at someone running without getting anxious. I am sure that my first experience led to my second and I caused myself to freak, and I even had all the test and was cleared. But I still cant get past it,,,,,what do I do, if I cant overcome this my career is over.
