Heart anxiety?
I was completely fine, then like three months ago I took some Adderall, (60 mgs, first time and last time I ever used, non prescribed ), had a panic attack that day, legs felt like they were gonna give out, arms went numb, and heart felt it was pounding out of my chest, two days after my body just hasn’t felt the same. Since them I’ve been feeling off—like my chest, my heartbeat, just everything felt different—and it kind of freaked me out. Ever since then, it’s like I can’t stop noticing my body, especially my chest. I’ve had this constant dull ache, random tightness, and just weird sensations that come and go. Some days are better, some are worse, but it’s always kind of there in the background. The worst part is the anxiety—there are times where I genuinely feel like I’m seconds away from something bad happening, like my heart is just going to give out, even though I can still run, lift, and do normal stuff. I’ve had moments where I feel fine and think I’m over it, but then it comes right back and I start questioning everything again. It’s been going on for months now, and it’s frustrating because I don’t feel like myself, and I keep wondering if that one moment triggered something that just hasn’t gone away.
Overall the symptoms have largely stayed the same, days off work, I feel super anxious and feel like I’m seconds away from death.
Idk ifs anxiety or my heart is about to out. I went to urgent care twice, and both time I got a normal EKG. PCP and cardio said it was non cardiac and likely muscle related but still nervous (actually getting an echo next week)

Non smoker, trying to avoid stimulants as they seem to make problem worse, also anti anxiety drugs like Lorazepam seem to ease symptoms, chest tightness seems to ease with NSIADs
