Unhappy Chest pains

I have severe anxiety and one of the bad symptoms I have alot of is chest pain. I used to go straight to ER thinking it was something worse and I have had numerous EEGs done & my heart is just a little fast. I get terrible heart palpatations which happen for no reason at all and can last all day and all night. My back and shoulders ache and my chest feels tight. I have been put on an inhaler to see if that will help, but the pain in my chest really gets me down. Deep down I know it is nothing to worry about but I can't help it. Doea anyone else get all of these?

Re: Chest pains

Hi,
YES!!! I get them all,sometimes I feel real breathless and my blood pressure goes way up,but the EKG says normal. This anxiety thing is a very difficult thing to handle. But we go on knowing that we may be way down now,but soon we will be better! Someone suggested to me that I should take yoga for relaxation or to join a support group. That might be worth looking into. Hang in there and hope you feel calmer.

Re: Chest pains

Yes, I have been experiencing something like this as well, although not that severe. Pretty frightening, actually. Never been so severe that I have wanted to go to the hospital. I usually just try to take deep long breaths, that's what works best for me.

Are you sure the chest pains are stress related?

Re: Chest pains

My problem isn't as much heart related, although I do get a fast heartbeat once in awhile, but it's feels more like pain in my ribs, chestwalls and breastbone area. Anybody get that?
