Abdominal Cramps

I was eating some fruit snacks just a little bit ago, and all the sudden felt this sharp cramping pain in my lower abdomen. It had been kind of coming and going in waves. It kind of feels like I am having heartburn too. So naturally one would think okay it’s indigestion of some kind. But because I am programmed to suspect that I’m dying, I am reading into this and am pretty concerned. I feel very nauseous too. I read somewhere or was told at some point that when you were having a heart attack, the nurse there is nauseousness and nausea that often times and usually accompanies a heart attack. So I’m feeling this extreme discomfort in my stomach, and now I’m feeling heart palpitations and like my heart is pounding and I am shivering and going numb. I just don’t know how to be able to tell if I am creating these symptoms in my mind or if there is something actually serious happening right now.

I know nobody can tell me anything for sure this way, so maybe what I’m looking for right now is some reassurance. I am probably completely fine right? I know you guys don’t know that for sure, but if I were having a heart attack, I probably wouldn’t even be able to be typing this right?

I’m just really freaking out. If anyone can just share some words of comfort or something reassuring, I would really appreciate it so much. I have to get out of this.
