Yes, take responsible for what is going on and go for a full check up. Whatever the results are, just stay calm and accept the way it is and the way it is not. Next step is what action can you take and willing to take to make adjustments. The bottom line is are you ready to take charge of your health and yr life?

Look back at the things/actions you have done or not done that could contribute to this. Eg. bad eating habits, eating "wrong" food, sleep late, not enough fresh air, stress at work/relationships, too much coffee,etc.. See if you can reduce or stop whatever is contributing to the problems.

You post the same thing over and over, jodie I would look into personality disorders some kind where you are looking for attention or OCD , hypochondria. Get on meds or get counseling for you anxiety. Its a disorder and your obviously obsessing over this no one can help you. You claim to have gone to the doctors so I dont get it whats the deal they told you what you have. Try treatment for anxiety and it will probably relieve what you think is your heart.

Uh No it can be any illness you "think" you have

http://en.wikipedia.or g/wiki/Hypochondria

Hypochondriasis (or hypochondria, sometimes referred to as health anxiety/health phobia) refers to an excessive preoccupation or worry about having a serious illness. Often, hypochondria persists even after a physician has evaluated a person and reassured him/her that his/her concerns about symptoms do not have an underlying medical basis or, if there is a medical illness, the concerns are far in excess of what is appropriate for the level of disease. Many people suffering from this disorder focus on a particular symptom as the catalyst of their worrying, such as gastro-intestinal problems, palpitations, or muscle fatigue.

The DSM-IV-TR defines this disorder, “Hypochondriasis,” as a somatoform disorder[1] and one study has shown it to affect about 3% of the population.[2]

Hypochondria is often characterized by fears that minor bodily symptoms may indicate a serious illness, constant self-examination and self-diagnosis, and a preoccupation with one's body. Many individuals with hypochondriasis express doubt and disbelief in the doctors' diagnosis, and report that doctors’ reassurance about an absence of a serious medical condition is unconvincing, or un-lasting. Many hypochondriacs require constant reassurance, either from doctors, family, or friends, and the disorder can become a disabling torment for the individual with hypochondriasis, as well as his or her family and friends. Some hypochondriacal individuals are completely avoidant of any reminder of illness, whereas others are frequent visitors of doctors’ offices. Other hypochondriacs will never speak about their terror, convinced that their fear of having a serious illness will not be taken seriously by those in whom they confide.

You have gone to the doctor and they told you it was anxiety and your heart is fine. You are choosing to not listen to them.

I know what your going through

Hi Hun, I'm new to this site and felt I had to reply to your post. I have suffered with panic/anxiety attacks for nine years. I also suffer with all the symptoms of pain that you described. You do need to get checked out but I personally think its due to your anxiety. I have seen specialists and have started to try and cope with my illness. Don't listen to people who say its all in your head, I used to listen to comments like that all the time and it just makes you feel worse about yourself. Some people are very insensitive especailly when they haven't gone through what you have. Feel free to contact me, I'd love to know how you get on. xx
