I have just been woken up very early in the morning to chest discomfort, and severe worry. I have been diagnosed with anxiety but do take medication for it, that seems to be helping some. I am concerned about this chest pain/discomfort as it is making me very naseous with worry. The discomfort is not localized, rather more spread out throughout my central chest. It has seemed to lessen some but may still be present. I am not sure what to do and I am very scared. Should I worry of a heart attack at 21 as a female, or is this likely my head and body messing with me. Please help, thank you.
Hi there! How are you feeling now?
From what you describe this is classic anxiety symptoms but if it does not ease it's always best to get it checked out. This way you will know for any repeat experiences and will make it easier to manage
Hello! Thanks for checking in! Per my usual 'schedule' I was fine after this. However this dull ache or fullness in my chest has come back and lasted for a few days. It kept me up a litle bit last night. Only thing I am really doing is trying to stay calm, reassure myself, drink water and relax. Contimplating a Dr. visit. Don't really think it is necessary as every time I go in my heart has been fine...not sure.
