I have dealt with chest pains since the beginning of my severe anxiety journey (I’ve written about it here some). I’ve been checked out at two different ERs, followed up with two different PCPs (moved back to hometown). EKGs, blood tests, all drs came to the conclusion that it is anxiety related. I had come to peace with that and dealt with it as it came.
Now along with moving back home, my medicine has changed and so has the chest pain. It used to be along my sternum on my left side, sometimes in my shoulder and arm. Now I still feel it in those places but when I feel it in my shoulder and arm, the pain is stronger than before. Also, I feel it more often under or below my left breast. The pain can be dull, sharp, or prickly feeling. Sometimes it lasts for seconds, sometimes for minutes. I have pain at some point almost every day especially this past week.
All of that to say, those of you who also deal with anxiety chest pains, have you had a similar experience? I feel like my overall anxiety level is down over the past couple of weeks.
