Hi Amber

All the symptoms you describe in your post are very common effects of anxiety and they are just your body's natural way of coping with fear. None of them can hurt you and they are not indications that your heart is going to stop or anything like that.

I used to believe my heart was packing up when I first started having panic attacks and that was 9 years ago.

If you want to know what causes each symptom, visit my site below and click on the "what are these symptoms" link.

I know it's difficult but the best thing you can do is get yourself out of the habit of checking your pulse because while you feel like you need that reassurance, it doesn't matter how many doctors tell you there is nothing wrong. Nobody can be 100% sure that their health is ok and you will get ill or injure yourself over the course of a lifetime, this is not the problem. The problem is that most people don't waste time when they are perfectly well, worrying about the possibilities.

Best of luck

Chris
