Have had chest pain on and off for about 4 months now associated with upper back jaw arm and should pain and sometimes getting like a burning pain in arms and legs rarely. About a month after I had been having these problems I began to have anxiety and anxiety attacks frequently. I am scared it’s my heart but I’m only 22. I’ve been to a med check place and 6 Er visits since September 19 of this year. And have had 6 ekgs 6 blood tests and a couple chest X-rays and they have all game back good but I still get pain and it’s scarring me. Right now I am dealing with center chest sharp pain on and off I just don’t know what to do. I am scared and am tired of dealing with this.
If everything did come back normall , its best to accept it as anxiety , have you been daignosed yet ? Im suffering aswell nd its only been about 2 months now , Im on beta blockers , other anxiety pills and ativan .It helps sometimes but still get bad days , I have only been on meds for about a week now , my worst experience at the moment is chest pain , heart palpilations, struggle with breathing , and saying asleep at night ,but as soon as I get busy its still ther but it gets better
Go look up all the anxiety aymtoms there are almost over a 100 and all are scary
I have looked I just can’t get over it I get a burning or tightness or a weird feeling in chest and I freak out. It can be dead center or on the left side or anywhere really. I don’t know what to do . The meds do not help me
I was put on Prozac for about 5 days and I couldn’t do it . It had serious side affects for me. Then I tried buspar and it made me dizzy and high type feeling. I’m on nothing now. I just carry atarax with me Incase I have a bad episode.
Hi. Sorry you're having this problem. Anxiety is scary but what you are experiencing is very very common. The pain in the chest, arm, shoulders etc are all muscles tension caused by the anxiety. It is uncomfortable but won't cause you any harm. If your heart has been checked out (and it has) then it is not your heart, but it could well be the muscles around your heart and chest which are tense. They are designed to do this and i repeat it does not cause any harm at all, but it can feel very uncomfortable and of course your mind goes off on one, thinking the worst. This is the nature of anxiety unfortunatly. It will pass, hang in there. hugs
