Welcome to Connect, @mmurphy_43 and @mthomasb. I can understand how this discomfort is unsettling and appreciate how difficult it must be to differentiate between the "new normal" discomfort and symptoms that require medical attention. I wonder if @thankful or @predictable might have something to add to this conversation?

MMurphy, how are you managing your anxiety? MThomas, are you able to differentiate the symptoms, and be more comfortable with the new normal?

not really. my $5000 false alarm happened just a couple of months ago. its very dofficult - i don't like to spend that kind of money needlessly, but don't really want to take a chance on dying. i carry nitro at all times. i was told that if it DOESN'T work, it's probably not a heart issue. unfortunately, i was told this in the hospital after alteady being brought in. its a difficult thing to those who experience it, and heart specialists really don't seem to be able to help with this much.
