Im suffering from anxiety and panic attacks. I got my heart checked (ecg, ekg, and stress test) the results were perfect. But i still get chest pains.
If an ecg is normal, is it irrational to worry about your heart. having panic attacks and can't sleep due to worrying about my heart. No actual chest pains though. Just really bad anxiety and fear. Thank you?
