Horrible feeling

[Redwoodie]

Got a pulled muscle on my left side of the chest and feels like my heart but I know it's not and it's making me freak out more and more when the pain comes and goes my anxiety is at a all time high now!

Hey I got the same problem! Dunno if it's pulled muscle or what. Doctors just said "chest wall muscle pain" but it's on the left side too and goes from above my Breast to shoulder and whenever it hurts badly I have an anxiety attack coz I worry it's actually my heart :/

Hi Redwoodie, you say that you know it's not your heart but yet it freaks you out because it's on the left side. If it were on the right side you probably would not give it a second thought (or would you). Not everything we feel on the left side of our body comes from the heart. Once you know it's coming from the muscle in your chest you have to let it go. It is what it is. We are not machines, we are human and little things go wrong from time to time. Accept that it's a part of being alive.
