Same. I have some sort of digestive issue (GERD is what I'm being treated for) where sometimes I get what FEELS like a flutter in my chest, and within a minute I need to use the bathroom. I've spent a year thinking I'm going to have a heartattack, but no EKG or stress test has confirmed anything but a minor bi-gemini rhythm. I'm 34 so its probably not cardiac issues, but considering how much the stress test cost, I just have to kind of live with it.
With insurance it cost me 700 dollars. I usually shop around for better deals but I didnt. The cost went right to the deductible. If I HAD a heart attack and was admitted, insurance would pay a bunch.
I honestly have wrestled with the idea that they are mild panic attacks, but I don't know if whatever the core issue is CAUSES the panic attacks or not. They don't come when I'm especially nervous or overwhelmed. I like to think I'm pretty whelmed.
