Health Q&A
Chest pain

I’ve been having episodes for quite some time where I feel chest discomfort, often starting after acidity or gas, with a lot of burping. Once this happens, my anxiety suddenly increases and my heart rate goes up and feels like it doesn’t settle easily. During these episodes my neck and body feel very stiff, and even deep breathing doesn’t calm things down much. I’ve had ECGs done several times and they’ve always been normal, but in the moment it still feels frightening and I worry that something might be wrong with my heart. I’ve discussed this with doctors many times and was told it could be anxiety-related, and advised to take anxiety medication or see a psychologist. I want to understand what treatment or medicines could actually help, because these episodes keep recurring and are affecting my daily life.

Constant fear of death

Recently, I've been worrying too much about the death of my family. I really love my family, and when I was really small- around 10, I used to cry uncontrollably alone, because I was scared of my family dying. This fear has become so bad that I have dreams of my grandparents crying. I am a sensitive person in general, I cry when people I dont know die, Im scared to think about the death of my loved ones and it's really stressing me out. I spoke to my dad and he explained that life is a carnival, we all come and we all must go too, but we'll come back again, and it felt nice to hear but its effects were temporary and the fear fills me again. Please advise on how to overcome or at least live with this.
