TRIGGER WARNING 2:
So yesterday a guy died in his sleep after his birthday party at 34 years old. His family said that he didnt have any pathology and only had anxiety after going to the doctor. Im kinda worried, i went to a doctor and said just anxiety. And the symptoms keep getting worse. I would really appreciate if someone could really help me in soneway and read my reddit posts
Genuinely, is there a way out to cardiophobia? Or you wont live normally and not get sleep or enjoy anything like me?
Hey, today 16th may is my birthday, I turn 15! but not one friend that i considered my best one wished me an happy birthday and i’m kinda sad. Only my family and 2 friends wished me an happy birthday but i think it’s because yesterday i said to them that today was my birthday. Since late february, i’ve been dealing with health anxiety, as also right now i think i’m dying. I would like to find a girlfriend, and i’m not an introvert person, like i usually try to talk to a girl or maybe write to her on instagram. But they just make fun of me. I just want to say i’m not a weirdo that hust go to girls and ask them weird question im just a normal boy. Also i don’t know why i’m so much disliked between them, i’m not even that ugly. My friends said that i have to go out more to meet more people but i live in a small town where everyone has their friend group and even if i wanted to go out i dont really know with who i should. I’m pretty sad about my situation in life, also in my basketball workouts its going very bad i’m not that good so i’m not much respected between my teammates. Another thing that makes me very sad is when i see my friends planning in front of me like i dont exist or seeing instagram stories maybe in a party i didnt get invited. Obviously i know YOU have to make the first step so many times i asked my friends if i could go out with them or with their friends but every single time my friends said that their friend group didn’t like me so i couldnt go and just stay home. I don’t know what to do everything is going bad, even if it’s my birthday i dont’t feel very happy.
How can you tell it’s anxiety? For me nothing worked and nothing is working.
Yeah people give some very good advice on how to tell it’s just anxiety rather than something abnormal. But did it work for you?
With health anxiety, and believeing that something will happen to me constantly or maybe in sleep, i feel like life itself only last a day. I don’t know if you can undestand, like if you asked me i would have just said that i saw life as a very long period and to not worry about anything. But now, is different, i feel like everyday is worthless and when you go to sleep you will just “end”. I don’t know if someone can undestand, i hope soThis is the 2nd post i make in one day but i just wanted to share my thoughts
Do you get this feeling too? It’s so bad and the fact that mine is constant like my symptoms from day to night doesnt make it much easier. How do you deal with this? What helped? Possibly i need something that actually works because things like “Oh if it goes away when you’re occupied then it’s anxiety” or “if it was something bad symptoms would have been constant” don’t work because mine are constant
Little bit of story: 15M, 2 month ago went to the ER, 2 cardiologist visit in 2 weeks, about 5/6 ekg and 2 echos at the cardiologist and all was good just blood test showed trooponin at 50 pg/ml but they said it was for exercise as my Ck was also a bit high. I had chest pressure at the time, after those visit it was getting better. One evening after training the pressure became much worse and i couldnt sleep and i still can’t. I haven’t ever stopped going to my 5 basketball workouts a week and when i go i think i dont think too much about the pressure and it goes away. I’m also worried because i get some shooting pain when doing light movement and sometimes for the first 10 minutes of the workout i get some pain in my chest then when i do harder work it goes away.
One thing that keeps stressing me out its that the pressure is constant day to night and ive been getting some shitty sleep because im afraid something would happen in sleep. Reading those relief posts where they say that if it would have been something serious the symptoms would ne constant definitely doesnt help me and makes me worry much more. I’ve been going to therapy doing cbt and emdr but they didnt help much im on my 4th session now. I’m a bit afraid of dying tbh and i cant tell if this is a heart problem or a skeletal one, also if i’m with my upper body naked i feel like much vulnerable and i cant touch the pain. In 1 of the many ER visits ive done a pediatrician said it might be gerd and gave me”Gastrotuss” that i took just for 1 week then stopped. I don’t know if this i gerd.

What should i do? Should i stop with the exercise? Should i worry and go to some doctors again?
It’s been a while since this period of my life started and i can tell you, it’s not a good one to be in at only 15. I went to the ER about 4/5 times with chest pressure, did all the visits, 2 cardiologist in 2 weeks. 1 at a private clinic 1 at the ER. All good. Actually, i was getting over it, i was sleeping, just ignoring even if it was almost 3 weeks that the pressure never went off. I tried to help myself as much as i could, not stopping with workouts, going out with my friends and school. Even if there was lows, i still tried. Then 1 week ago i woke up and the pressure became much stronger with much palpitations this time i can’t ignore it, it’s constant. Also chest pain appeared, and now i can’t sleep. The pressure is too much, yeah i know doctors cleared and all, but what i’m feeling i dont think it’s anxiety or anything else. I tought costochondritis, but i really cant touch the pain, sometimes i get chest pain with exertion. I also did a stress test because i have to do it for agonostic sports, but it was in october 2025. I feel so weak and on the edge im gonna die. I got a much things plannes and i dont really wanna go right now. I’m doing CBT therapy and EMDR it’s not helping much to be honest. Before, my mind would just say “Yeah, but when you do your daily workouts your good” and it was true but now when i workout for the first 20/30 minutes i get sharp pains in my chest and im really worried after that i can workout normally tbh. Now im just entering a mindset that i wont even care anymore and just waiting for the moment even if i cant sleep.
