How can you tell you have a heart problem and not because of anxiety?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Easy when young: That's the curse of having health anxiety. Normal bodily sensations and abnormal bodily sensations all are perceived as signs of illness, making it very difficult for the patient or doctor to tell when the patient is actually sick (other than suffering the sickness of health anxiety). Patient must teach himself which bodily sensations are normal. College students almost never get heart problems.
