I have to conciously think about breathing. It makes me think there may be something wrong with possibly my heart, so that makes me feel a bunch of other symptoms of heart disease. My family had a history of heart disease, but our latest case was my great grandmother about 90-100 years ago. I am very scared and I can't stop thinking about it. Please help!

      I know the feeling. My dad had a heart attack and 5 bypass heart surgery at 36. I turned 36 last year.

      It is important to understand that anxiety can affect our health greatly. It is important to talk to your primary care about any concerns, but also acknowledge that it could be psychosomatic. Psychosomatic DOES NOT mean the feeling and affects on your body aren’t real - it only means they are linked to something psychological such as stress or anxiety. Unfortunately i understand way to well and know just how terrifying it can feel to have symptoms without any known cause. Definitely visit your PCP and talk about the possibility of cardiopulmonary issues and also ask any questions that may help your anxiety around this. Hope you find answers soon ❤️
