I was in the ER on Saturday for an anxiety attack that lasted over 3 hrs. I’ve been through a lot of counseling throughout my life & thou I have had anxiety all of my life..this was something different. None of my mind tricks worked, none of my tricks to get me out of my anxiety attack. Nothing was wrong, nothing to cause me massive anxiety (besides minor chest pain). I still felt like I was dying. i could not breath. I did get my diagnosis that day which I’m than for. I started feeling the same weird out of body feeling yesterda, like i couldn’t breath..nothing wrong, I know my chest pain isn’t my heart. I had to call my doctor to get a sedative for emergency use. I hate that. I really feel like this condition is messed with my breathing. it’s not mental.

After having a full on ER anxiety attack believing my heart was betraying me at age 31..I was quickly diagnosed with tietze. I had previously visited my family doctor who pretty much blew me off & gave me an X-ray to sooth me. Luckily the experienced ER cardiac doctor knew what was going on.

Now I’m searching for answers. I keep seeing posture plays a big part in this condition. I’ve had an umbilical hernia for about 7 year, untreated. one of the symptoms of umbilical hernia is bad posture. Anyone else with umbilical hernia also have tietze?
