i've always had alittle anxiety. but for 2 months i've had full bown panic attacks. been to the emergency room a couple of times, been to my gp a couple of times, been to the cardiologist a couple of times.everything has turned up normal except hormones a little off, doc thinks pre meno may be exaggerating anxiety causing panic. My thing is , i have left arm which i had before panic attacks started. and it seems now that i get panic attacks they are worse which makes me think i'm having a heart attack which in turn starts my panic into a frenzy that i feel i can't control sometimes. sometimes i literally feel like i'm going crazy. i can't run to the er everytime my arm hurts but i don't want to have a heart attack either. what can i do. heart disease does run in my family. i have high b/p under control and high cholesterol under control i do not smoke and i exercise regularly. i take a beta blocker and xanax also an aspirin a day and vytorin.what do you think i should do.

I think this is probably more appropriate on the Anxiety/Panic forums Smile

ANXIETY PAIN
For 4 months now I have been dealing with unknown pain in the leg,chest,back,chest,groin. Seeing my mom die from cancer 4 years ago and finding it late I worry when I get symptoms. Stress from work did not help either. Been to the ER for test,Dr for blood.Learned I had HP Pylori,testicle cyst,siatica in leg and constapation was enough to scare me. They say i have anxiety so calm down! I hope that's all it is and cure it soon.
