I'm having some health anxiety these past few months, especially about my heart, like cardiophobia, I guess. Because of this, I've been experiencing pain in my left hand, from my arm down to my fingers. I'm really worried and can't help but wonder, is this just anxiety causing it, or is there something else going on?

Health anxiety, or cardiophobia, can indeed cause physical symptoms like pain in the left arm, as anxiety can manifest with muscle tension and heightened sensitivity to bodily sensations. Since you have had normal cardiac tests and evaluations, it's likely that anxiety is contributing to your symptoms. It's important to address your anxiety through appropriate methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and possibly medication if recommended by a healthcare provider. Consulting with a mental health professional can provide you with tools to manage your anxiety and reduce the physical symptoms you're experiencing.

View allI've been having a bunch of symptoms lately that are starting to worry me. I feel like I'm always out of breath, and sometimes I get really dizzy out of nowhere. Fatigue has been a constant partner, and I've even fainted a couple of times, which is super scary. My head feels heavy, and I'm always tired no matter how much I sleep. On top of all that, I can't shake these negative thoughts and just feel so lazy all the time. Does this sound like something I should be concerned about, and what could be causing it?

I'm feeling this weird pain in the center of my chest whenever I breathe deeply or move suddenly. It's been happening since this evening and while it goes away for a bit, it keeps coming back. I'm trying to figure out if this might just be from a cold or if it's more like an infection. Who should I be talking to about this? What kind of doctor would handle something like this?

I've been on Roseday 10 mg once a day for three years now because my doctor advised it. Just had a recent checkup, and my cholesterol levels are all good. Since I'm not diabetic or dealing with hypertension, is it okay to stop taking the tablet?
no roseday 10 mg can not be stopped suddenly , since it may worsen the condition and in some patients side effects like stroke and myocardial infarction is observed.. continue same treatment...
