Chest Pains

[tiredwithanxiety]

Hi

Had been having a good run till yesterday....and now my anxiety is through the roof. Since morning I am having pain in the right side of the chest and general soreness in the entire chest area. Sometimes the pain increases when I take a deep breath. My BP and pulse rate are in the normal range.

I am scared!

I am home with my 6 month old daughter in absolute tears because I had chest pains in the night and chest pains this morning that are making me hot and sweaty and feel sick. My pains are over the heart area and in the centre. I have nothing to offer you except you're not alone - I just want to feel well again..

Hope you feel better soon

Kelly, it could well be nothing at all but it's important that you see your doctor right away to get his opinion then you will be reassured. If you ring your doctor's and mention chest pains, hot and sweaty and feeling sick they will give you priority. If they say go to A&E/ERthen go right away, the sooner you do the sooner you will be reassured.

Tiredwithanxiety, so your BP and pulse are normal and you have a pain onthe right side of your chest (your heart is on the left side). No reason to panic, it's either that you slept at an awkward angle and strained a muscle in your chest or it may be anxiety, I gather you've been experiencing anxiety recently. If it persists do see your doctor, it will give you the reassurance you need.
