Hi all my name is Teresa I'm 38 have 7 children who are my world this all started 7 weeks ago when I was rushed to hospital with chest pain turns out it's acid reflux but since that day every time I get a pain in my chest my heart races I get hot and cold sweats pain almost all over my body if I eat my symptoms get worse they wake me at night I've been taken into hospital 6 times in two weeks to have ecgs and blood tests that always come back normal. My dr has said It must be anxiety oh and here's so anti depressants made me worse so stopped taking them so I'm now sat here thinking when's the next attack it seems to me that they come on when ever they feel like it mayb ten times a day I think I know some of the trigger and that's eating but I've lost so much weight due to not eating I may have done more harm than good to myself :( I've been trying to eat better only to have a racing heart and everything else no matter how much I tell myself I'm ok and these feelings are due to anxiety I've got to the stage now that I can't leave the house I just wanna be me again and have fun with my kids any advice on how to get past this would be great thank you

@wittyBalsam2321 I recommend seeing a psychiatrist! Someone who specializes in anxiety and could rule out or diagnose properly. Medical doctors are not as specialized usually.

@wittyBalsam2321 Hi !

I understand the feeling of not wanting to leave the house! you just have to do it step by step! small steps are better than big steps! You can do it!
