confused and trying to process my feelings
hi, i was originally bringing these feelings into the anxiety support forum but i can't help wondering if this is also a bit of a trauma thing.?
close to 2 weeks ago now, i had gone to the hospital because some pains i was feeling (that im now also thinking some were amplified by anxiety) made me concerned about the potential of something being wrong with my heart. i was told everything looked okay, and my tests came back normal, so i feel like that should have been it. instead, for about a week now i've been almost nothing but in a consistent state of worry and anxiety. i've gotten reassurance from multiple people that if something was wrong, they would have seen so in the x-rays and other tests they did. being at home makes these feelings worse, and i've even been calling it an association trigger but have only watered it down to anxiety. i know anything can be traumatic and there's not one set criteria for everyone, but i almost don't want to admit this has affected me that way, since nothing even ended up being wrong. but i'm struggling to process these feelings after going through the stress of thinking i may have almost gone through a life threatening event at a rather young age.

sounds like your having panic attacks and it can be due to many things,yes trauma is one of them. we use to end up in ER thinking we was having a heart attack. but nothing was wrong they say. sounds like that what happened to you. we found best way to help the panic attacks is to find out what ones triggers are and deal with them in a healthy way. we not have many of them anymore, but use to have a lot of them. this is more then a anxiety thing it deeper most the time. hope you can find way to help you with them
