I have chest pain too it started a couple of months ago. It has caused me to have a ton of panic and anxiety about my health. I went to the ER twice and kept having more pain. I had an x-ray, chest CT with contrast, 3 ER EKGs and a stress test with 2 more EKGs at the cardiologist office. I have been told I have costochrondritis and musculoskeletal issues along with acid reflux, gerd, and an ulcer. I'm still waiting for confirmation of the ulcer. Stress can do all kinds of things. I still worry sometimes that it's something more serious but they have done the tests that say my heart is ok. I hope and pray it is. If you've had the tests and they say it's not your heart it probably isn't. Are you taking any anxiety meds? I am. I started eating better and lost some weight. I still have plenty of work to do but I'm going to try and make a conscious effort to make myself be as healthy as I can be. Mental health is important as well as physical health. I struggle every day.
Ty very much for the reply and no im not i have not been diagnosed with anxiety yet it could be doe its soooo crippling doe
Do you feel anxious all the time are you able to eat normally etc
i do feel scared that it might be my heart all the time i eat normally but im not able to get out of bed and walk arround becuase of the tightness in my chest and arms
Have you had a stress test or seen a cardiologist? What did they say was the reason for your chest tightness at the hospital? Did they say anxiety?
They sayed they dont know what is coursing the chest pain i have been on the stress test yes they sayed i was fine but i didnt have the chest pain then im going to a cardiologist clinic on friday but they will props say nothing wrong with heart like the 14 times the hospital sayed but they dk whats coursing it. and i hate going to the hospital cuz the nurses seen me so many times they treat me like a hypochondriac but my chest really does hurt its kinda bulls**t

doctors say they dk what it is
Hi Reon. Chest pain can be lots of things but if your clear from a cardiac perspective that’s good at least.
Could be chest tightness due to breathing issues, muscle tightness, asthma or stress.
Numbers in your limbs would normally be looked into by a neurologist.
Does it hurt to apply pressure to your chest anywhere you're getting the pain?
i just get the stiff pain and no it dasnt hurt worse when i apply pressure its very odd
