Considering your age its very less likely that might have some cardiac illness. Since all your investigations are normal avoid checking BP repeatedly. Avoid paying too much attention to symptoms in your body. Don't search about each symptom online, as it can increase your anxiety. Try to distract yourself by engaging into other activities which you enjoy.

1. Breathe Slowly If you are feeling anxious, you are more likely to breathe faster and shallower. Sometimes, the easiest and most important thing we can do to soothe ourselves is to focus on our breathing. Inhale slowly. Count to three as you do it. Focus on each breath. Exhale slowly. Count to three as you do it. 2. Stay In the Present Try the 5-4-3-2-1 technique Focus on five things around you that you can see. A pen, a bottle of water, a spot on the wall - anything. Focus on four things around you that you can touch. Your watch, the coffee mug, the chair you are sitting on - anything. Focus on three things you can hear. Someone speaking on their phone, the TV in the background - any external sound. Focus on two things you can smell - Maybe it’s a charcoal pencil, a hand cream, or leftover coffee in your mug. Focus on one thing you can taste - What does the inside of your mouth taste like? Gum, coffee? 3. Muscle Relaxation When you are anxious, you may feel your body tense up. Find a quiet place. Slowly tense a muscle group. Let’s say you start with your shoulders. Breathe in while you tense your shoulders. Hold the tension for a few seconds. Slowly release the tension and breathe out as you do it. Do this a couple of times before moving on to the next muscle group. What this practice essentially does is it builds awareness of tension in the body and also recognises when the body is completely relaxed. 4. Get Moving Move your body. There is simply no way around it. When you do activities that get your heart rate up, like running, cycling, getting some exercise, or even dancing, it can literally change your brain chemistry.. 5. Small Acts of Bravery If there’s something that makes you anxious, try tackling it in baby steps. For example, if public speaking freaks you out, start by giving a short presentation to a few friends. This can help you build confidence and manage your anxiety when it comes to bigger challenges. 6. Be Kind to Yourself Practicing self-compassion can really help ease your anxiety. Remember, we all deserve to be cared for, and that includes taking care of ourselves. Much love!

Hi Chest heaviness can sometimes occur with anxiety, especially when you have already had multiple normal ECGs and are frequently checking your blood pressure. Anxiety can cause muscle tension, changes in breathing, and increased awareness of physical sensations, which may make chest discomfort feel frightening. However, chest heaviness especially on the left side should not automatically be assumed to be anxiety. If the pain is new, severe, persistent, worsening, or accompanied by breathlessness, sweating, dizziness, nausea, fainting, or pain spreading to the arm, jaw, back, or shoulder, please seek urgent medical attention. If your doctor has ruled out a cardiac cause, reducing repeated checking and reassurance-seeking, practising slow breathing, and working on anxiety-focused therapy can help break the cycle. Cognitive Behaviour Therapy (CBT) can be particularly helpful in managing health anxiety and physical symptoms of anxiety. For psychological support and counseling, contact nine two six six seven two six zero six five.
