Need Reassurance
Last Friday I ended up going to my doctors due to ongoing chest pain. She ended up sending me to the hospital as my heart rate was very high, which I think was due to my anxiety.
They did and ecg, blood test and a chest x-ray. All of which came back clear apart from my bloods which showed a slight viral infection.
The doctor at the hospital said that the probable cause was me drinking energy drinks (caffeine) and told me to stop drinking them.
It’s now a week later, I still have left sided chest pain on and off, but not as bad just a slight ache and sometimes the squeezing pain I had and heart palpitations comes back.
I’m still so anxious that’s it’s my heart even though I’ve had all the tests and they have come back clear.
I think part of it is that I’m getting very anxious that I’ll have to go back in hospital as I hate them. Please can I have some reassurance.
