I'm 18 years old and I suffer from quite bad anxiety. Lately it's been especially worse since I have been getting stabbing chest pain around the left-centre area of my chest that comes and goes, sometimes radiates to my left breast/armpit and I'm worried it's heart problems. However my family has no heart problem history and I'm of healthy weight. Is it possible to suffer from this kind of pain while suffering from anxiety, or is it something else? I really want to get it checked out by a GP, but I can't have a face to face appointment with them right now.
yes chest pain is very common with anxiety.. that’s why a lot of people with anxiety end up in the ER and go right back home because it was symptoms of anxiety. Is your doctor not allowing face-to-face appointments? Many people are going to the doctor they are just wearing a mask. I’ve been several times to the doctor. You could also do a virtual doctor appointment and stay home. even though the doctor could not examine you, you could still talk about your symptoms and he could make recommendations. would help you a lot to learn some slow long deep breathing which relaxes the heart and mind. It decreases anxiety. You can find some great breathing meditations on YouTube! They helped me a lot! Take care
