This one came out of nowhere.
I was fine.
Literally fine.
And then out of nowhere my chest started feeling weird.
Not even painful at first… just noticeable.
And that’s all it takes.
Because the second I notice something in my chest, my brain is already gone.
“What if this is a heart attack?”
I didn’t even try to fight it this time. I just felt the fear hit me instantly.
Then my jaw started hurting.
Both sides.
And that sent me over the edge.
Because now I’m thinking about all the things people say about symptoms being different for women.
Now I’m scared for real.
I got up, moved around, trying to distract myself but it didn’t help.
My chest felt weird.
My jaw hurt.
My heart was racing.
I kept checking my body like I was waiting for something worse to happen.
Nothing did.
But that didn’t stop the fear.
It never does.
I don’t even know how long it lasted. Time feels weird when I’m like this.
But eventually… it passed.
Like it always does.
And I’m left sitting here feeling stupid for being so scared.
But in that moment?
It didn’t feel stupid.
It felt real.
I really thought this was it.
