chest pain from anxiety

Lately, for the past 2 weeks, I get a big discomfort in my chest, I get chest tightness, some chest vibrations like there was a buzzing cellphone, chest pain, left side of the chest feels irritated and also it feels electrified (hard to describe). Is this anxiety? My blood pressure had dropped so I was feeling dizzy. I am drinking more water and salt so that is better. An EKG showed that it is normal. Going for a blood test as well.

Hey guys...now this chest pain that I get from anxiety is it coming from the heart or chest muscle....because sometimes I get like little stings and a burning sensation...

s just building up the courage to go!

Hi there, The feelings your getting are all anxiety symptoms, although nobody should just egnore chest pain, but has your always thinking of your heart you will get all the symptoms, the only thing that I can suggest is getting a anxiety cd and putting that on when you go to bed it does help, your only very young have you had cbt for your anxiety? keep us posted and stop the worriying. janis.

Well....from my experience it sounds like anxiety but I'm not a doctor. When I get bad anxiety it does feel like sharp pains in my chest and it's hard to breath. I used to drink alot to get rid of the depressed feelings I was having. Didn't realize until I got older that alcohol causes depression? That's why I quit! You may want to cut back on the drinking (I'm not trying to lecture) and speak to a psychiatrist about your meds.

Hi, I had suffered from anxiety for 2 years. Everydays having chest pain and many other crazy symptom. Looking for someone having the same problem in Singapore to share and advices!!

t breath and sometimes have chest pain,is this heart related? I have been tested for heart issues,nothing came back. BUt if I get really upset and yell, then I am really tight and feel like I can't breath plus chest pain,should I be worried?

AHHH the main question. Is the anxiety causing the chest pain or is the chest pain causing the anxiety. Either way you need a doctor willing to find out.

I have had two times when I've had chest pain from stress. One episode lasted 4.5 months, after a car accident. The second lasted 3 weeks and started after my attorney took me to court because I wouldn't sign the settlement check. I didn't agree to the settlement and he did it anyway because he had too many cases piled up. Judge ruled in my favor. Both times it went away on its own after I relaxed enough. I rely on a beta blocker now when needed.

What could it be? I was in the ER last night for chest tightening, pain, and shortness of breath. They did a cat scan and ruled out PE, blot clot on my lungs, and prescribed me an inhaler t i use for when if I get the tightening in my chest anymore. But today I'm woke up and my chest hurts about 3x as much as it did yesterday and it seems like whenever I get the pain to subside, it just comes right back. The pain is mostly on the right side of my chest.

please help i need advice about chest pain i been suffering from chest pain for about 6 almost 7 years now i had my ekg done back in 2005 but it came back norrmal i still continue to have pain i get the strong contraction like pain on my left side it seems to start under my breast bone and shoots straight up but not to my neck when that happens it last about a minute or less and i cant breath in!!

My left arm sometimes gets tingly and when my chest hurts, the pain shoots down my arm. I also get pain shooting up into my shoulder, neck and jaw. I've been to 5 different doctors and none of them can figure out what's causing the pain. It happens way too often to be indigestion and I'm pretty sure it's not panic attacks. One of the doctors even suggested to me that I'm making this up. I really just want to know if anyone has any ideas about what this could be.

He has been suffering from chest pain that is starting to scare him. It seems that he is set into a panic once this pain starts I think it is due to stress, but he isn't so sure. He is only 24 years old, and says that it is a sharp pain that is worse when he breathes in. Could this be stress related?

p.s can i say it can be anxiety i have them now from stress over having to take a heart test tomorrow , when ever am under stress i get gerd which can cause the pain and the anxiety, so if your anxiety/stress over it you could be making the pain worse but just have checked so you have a good feeling on it .

Have you been diagnosed with anxiety? Stomach problems and chest pain are just a couple of the symptoms of anxiety. I'm glad to hear your Dr did blood work. Do you know what tests he ordered and what he's looking for?

I have had this pain from the last 2-3 days but today when I returned from a football game in morning, it had grown by 100 times...Its really bad, like someone is crushing my chest or as if someone has driven a stake through it... Its on the right side of my chest, just next to sternum in an area of about 2 cm......Please tell me also if you get any breakthrough!!

I have anxiety daily. Not anxiety attacks but I feel anxiety at some point during the day. I'm wondering can you chest pain when you're NOT having an anxiety attack? Or feeling fine? Or even mild anxiety? Example I'll have some minor anxiety at 6pm gone by 630 pm. Mild chest pain 830. Can you have chest pain when you're not having an anxiety attack?? I guess I've never known.

You can wake up in the night with a panic attack out of nowhere and anxiety will cause you to overanalyze and get really scared over every symptom you have. It has been reported that people with chronic anxiety will have upper left chest pain. I have had that too. If it was your heart the pain would be felt in the middle of your chest. I would talk to your doctor about medication to treat anxiety and see if that helps.

You may be having esophageal spasms. I have them from time to time, and the chest pain is crippling. It comes and goes and can last a long time. I thought it was a heart attack the first time. I can feel the pain all the way through to my back. I got a prescription for Donnatol (Belladonna and phenobarbital) and it works like a charm. There is no test for the spasms, they just ruled out everything else. Ask your doctor to consider this.

exhaustion) for seven years and that that disease and the anxiety attacks that caused my chest pain were the result of my repression of lifelong anger and anxiety. I discovered what I was angry about and unloaded my anger on God in prayer with tears, and the depression and anxiety attacks have not returned for the last 23 years! I don't know if you have any emotional diseases, but it might be helpful for you to check it out. I'll pray for you.

Went to er and all was good but i had a really sharp pain in my chest from around the collar bone down to under the arm pit on my left side, including some tightness. Ive been to two cardiologists, have had a stress test, ekg, blood work, echo AND angiogram done all with negitive results. My Gp put my on klonopin and an anti depressent thinking it was anxiety. However, its now been over a month of never ending pain/pressure in my chest and the medication is not helping. Ideas guys?

I also get left arm pain but not when i am having the chest pains(usually about 2 to 5 minutes after). I have had 2 stress echo's, a Cardiac CT, and numerous ekg's. All were excellent(except for the PAC's). Coronary arteries were in pristine condition. No pain upon exertion. Always at rest. Only twice while at sleep(unless i am sleeping thru pain, which is unlikely as i am a light sleeper). I can not reproduce the pain by twisting, turning, contorting, lifting.

probably anxiety, tell your parents to be safe though
