Sorry to hear Dirty.... I've been there. You feel like a fool leaving the ER
...
I mean its very real when its happening... you're SURE its a heart attack.. what else are you supposed to do?
But then again... what is that belief based on? I've never HAD a heart attack so I don't know what one feels like.
We were created or evolved to survive and outwit lions and tigers and other baddies chasing us down for lunch...
It's all about our bodies being juiced up with massive amounts of adrenaline because the fight or flight mechinisim gets triggered when it shouldn't have been.
So what casues that false trigger?
That's the subject of many debates.
BUT , just knowing its there, and picturing it as a trigger that you may be able to partially control (at least when it really isn't a life or death situation) - should help tons.
I personally think that this 'trigger' has become more sensitive false alarms due to our diets these days. People eat and drink so much poison these days it's crazy.
The only reason half the shit we eat and drink is legal and on the shelves is because billion dollar companies/industries pay scientists millions of dollars to conduct and publish studies that conclude their products are safe.
