does anyone get random pinching pains in the left side of their chest even while not anxious?? ive had several tests ran on my hear this year that all came back normal
- Yeppp, just anxiety. I went through a bunch of different chest pain types now… started with sharp constant pain, then moved to painful spasms here and there, then the pinching pain, then a dull pain lol. All of them made me nervous something was wrong but every time it turned out to just be my anxiety.
- Keep in mind that it is VERY common to have physical anxiety symptoms without actively feeling anxious. The reason for this is bc when you’re overly anxious (esp for a long period of time), your body basically going into a hypersensitive and stressed state. So even though your mind may feel calm right now, it will take a lot longer for your body to recover from that elevated stress. If you are able to remain un-anxious for a long period of time, your body will slowly start to recover. But usually what happens is we are only un-anxious for a few days or week, and then we’re back to being anxious again… and this isn’t enough time for your body to recover. That’s why you have those lingering physical symptoms.
