I've been feeling some pressure and tightness in my chest after eating, and my stomach gets really bloated. Sometimes it even feels like I'm having an anxiety attack. I'm not sure what's going on. Could there be a link between these symptoms, and what might be causing this?

Im 23 years old and recently I've noticed that whenever I eat a big meal or heavy food from restaurants, I can feel my pulse increase in my neck. What could be causing this?

Increased pulse after heavy meals can be due to a condition called postprandial tachycardia. This can happen when the body redirects blood flow to the digestive system to help with the digestion process, causing the heart to beat faster. To help with this issue, you can try to eat smaller, lighter meals and avoid foods high in fat and sugar. Additionally, staying hydrated and practicing relaxation techniques may also help.

I'm having some health anxiety these past few months, especially about my heart, like cardiophobia, I guess. Because of this, I've been experiencing pain in my left hand, from my arm down to my fingers. I'm really worried and can't help but wonder, is this just anxiety causing it, or is there something else going on?

Health anxiety, or cardiophobia, can indeed cause physical symptoms like pain in the left arm, as anxiety can manifest with muscle tension and heightened sensitivity to bodily sensations. Since you have had normal cardiac tests and evaluations, it's likely that anxiety is contributing to your symptoms. It's important to address your anxiety through appropriate methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), relaxation techniques, regular exercise, and possibly medication if recommended by a healthcare provider. Consulting with a mental health professional can provide you with tools to manage your anxiety and reduce the physical symptoms you're experiencing.
