What does anxiety mean to you? Part 2

So, when did this all these connect with the word anxiety? That last straw where I had an attack and I felt that my heart was pain. I was worried again and I thought to myself "Am I getting a heart attack? I then got my husband to bring me to the heart specialist in a renowned hospital near me. When it was my turn, I remembered sitting on that chair, very nervously and tell the doctor : "I think I am having a heart attack cause I felt ....." I told him everything and all my symptoms and he replied me with :"Your condition is still ok. Don't need to eat medicine yet". I was shocked. Medicine? Was I really sick? So I was right, something was wrong? I then continued asking: "What medicine doctor?" The doctor looked at me and say: " There is nothing wrong with but you are stress. Having anxiety. Not that serious yet but if you want I can give you some medicine to release your tension. You want?" It finally strucked me that the stress was real and I was going through anxiety attacks all these while. I left the hospital with a mixed feeling. Relieved that I finally found out what was wrong but worried as I did not know what to do with this anxiety situation. 


Now, I feel much better. Not to be misguided, but I still have mild attacks here and there. But I was in better control as now that I know what was wrong with my body, I was stronger mentally. I know how to talk to myself internally and that made me feel slightly better. I know what I can do during attacks that would make me feel better. I know this is not a normal sickness where you just eat a flu tablet and it would be gone. It's going to take more work and I am sure I would be able to do so, step by step.
