Hi, I'm suffering from anxiety and obviously one of the symptoms is chest pain.. can you explain how your anxiety chest pains feel so I know I'm not going mad thanks
Hey there nab my chest pain is toward the left side mostly, when it comes it worries me but i do my best to relax it feels like a tightness so i believe it's a muscle at times it changes to different areas of my chest sometimes it feels like it might be the bones
Hope this eases your mind a bit, it does suck when it comes
Its perfectly normal, you are not going mad, when you are anxious 😩 you are tense and your muscles contract, try to (easier said than done) just lie or sit and relax or even do something you enjoy and will soon see that the muscles relax and the pain subsides, take it easy, all the best, I've been there and it took me a very long time to learn whats normal and what's not. There are some very good books on anxiety which I found helpful. All the best.
Left side of sternum , tightness like my lungs shrink to about an inch wide, feels like the air isn't hitting my lungs it feels like I'm inhaling into nothing kind of, and the more I try and control my breathing the shorter my breaths get and the pain increases
