Heart symptoms
The most common fear we have is that we will die from a heart attack. Besides having a rapid heartbeat, some people experience palpitations or ‘missed’ heartbeats. They are not dangerous, and will not hurt us in any way. The more we fear them, the more adrenalin is released, so the cycle continues.
Muscle tension
The fear of having a heart attack is compounded by the tightness or pain which may be experienced in the chest, arms and jaw. It can also be felt in our neck and throat. It doesn’t mean there is anything seriously wrong. Stress and tension cause our muscles to tighten. The tension will disappear once we have begun to let go of the fear and anxiety.
Throat constriction
Another symptom which causes a great deal of fear is the feeling of tightness or constriction in the throat, as it feels as if the air supply will be cut off. It won’t. The tightness is a sign of just how tense we are. When we reduce the tension this symptom will disappear.
