re: Anyone have anxiety about their heart?

The symptoms you're describing can be tied back to true anxiety issues. It's probably not so much your heart as it is your mind.

This. I had occasional pains going back to my college days. Finally in my 40s I got some more regular chest and left arm pains. They were fleeting but finally enough to scare me into going to a cardiologist. I passed my EKG and stress test with flying colors. I asked the doc why I was getting the pain and he said probably stress.

Once I knew that it helped me manage the stress. Now if I feel something in my chest I just take a step back and calm down.

I would definitely get it checked out for peace of mind.
