Hi Mike: Anxiety certainly puts us on guard each and every day. It makes our muscles tense up which gives us the back, chest and shoulder pain. It is scary. I'm sitting here in dire pain tonight and wish it would just leave me alone. It pushes us to think we are dying of something else. The doctors tell us it's anxiety and I guess it's a diagnosis that we have to accept like it or not. I'm glad there's a place like this forum to come to in order to get the support and understanding we need. Wishing you a better day.

Hi Mike! I suffered from anxiety for over two years and have experienced just about every symptom you can feel from anxiety. What I learned and what has helped me on my road to recovery is just to accept that nothing is wrong with you no matter how terrible you feel. There was a book that I read, it repeatedly stated: "The best way to overcome anxiety is to do nothing." You have to accept that the pain in your chest and shoulders is just from your anxiety and pay less attention to the pain. I hope this will help and if you have any questions feel free to message me.
