A few months ago I went through a really bad time at home, crying, panicking everything. throughout this time I noticed my breath was short and I had chest pain, a lump in my throat I felt really tense and shaky too. recently I've been worried too,crying and things and the same things plus sharp pains have been coming too. as soon as I get like this I work myself up and get even more worried which gets the pains even worse. I did go and see a doctor about my chest and she checked my heart and my lungs and said they were perfectly fine. she said it was my anxiety and others have noticed it too, just checking tho, it is just my anxiety?
anxiety?

Yes it is.
When you are emotionally drained. .
You suffer all kinds,of symptoms.
When your upset.. your body sends a signal to your brain that you are in danger
So...your heart rate rises...and then your lungs and chest feel funny .
Your body does this to ready you to run from "danger".
This explains alot of your symptoms .
Wanna know more?? Just ask.

Thankyou so much, do you have any advise for me to just relax and try not to worry about it?

I don't really know what to say about the worry but, I have learned a couple of tricks .
When your feel stressed.... chew some gum .
Chewing gum actually releases sarotonin.
This is what makes a gluton...a gluton.
Also try breathing techniques.
This will be the part that helps with your chest dis comfort because it lowers heart rate.
But, make sure to breath slowly and close your eyes and focus only on your breathing . If you have trouble clearing mind....try to count to yourself .
You breathe in 1 2 3 4,hold your breath 1 2 3 4 5 breathe out 1 2 3 4 .
Repeat for 5 times. Let me know if this helps.

Hi and welcome Oh yes anxieties can cause a lot of problems,sometimes I shake and get all sweaty and just cannot relax.I am always worrying i know it isnt good for me,but I just do not know how to calm down ,however sometimes if it gets so bad I need to lay down to relax take a klonopin and see if it works if my anxieties are to bad as to where they are a panic attack then forget it nothing helps me,If you have a favorite thing you like to do try to picture yourself doing it.Like for me it would be going to the beach walking along the beach swimming and fishing sometimes pleasant thoughts will relax me and sometimes they dont.
okay, thankyou so much
