Nervousness, Stabbing Pain In Chest, Grieving Over The Loss Of Husband. Symptoms Cause Of Concern?
my 49 year old husband died of what is believed to have been a massive heart attack . I was in bed with him and did CPR for 15 minutes. I know I am grieving and under stress, but I have felt nervous and have had several episodes of stabbing type heart pain. Do I need to be concerned? I m assuming it s anxiety. I have no arm, shoulder, jaw or back pain . I am 50.

hi
welcome to this forum
The symptoms are probably due to anxiety after this major incident which has acted as a great stressor for ur condition.sometimes pt develop somatic symptoms(due to anxiety or depression) which mimics the symptoms of the deceased, so u need not to worry.Just consult a psychiatrist and follow as he advices.
thanks
