Chest pains

[Destinyweathers]

Does anyone have off and on chest pains? Like crampy aches or soreness when u press down on ur chest bones? Or those quick sharp pinching feelings that go as quick as they came? Or tightness or full feeling up in there? Any kind of pain period? And ive had so many chest xrays, ekgs, i even had an echo done they all say my heart is in good shape but when i get these pains that sometime last more than a day i get nervous still thinking its my heart or something major health wise. .....

with health anxiety you tend to press and prod your body until you've convinced yourself something is wrong.

if the experts say you are ok put your trust in them...i know it's hard as i've done it myself but it's amazing how quick the "pain" goes when you believe them...john.

I am with Johncraig on this one. Trust the experts. This pain, which can occur anywhere, is of psychosomatic origin, that is your body physically reaction to your thoughts and feelings. There is lots of literature on the internet about this. The reasons are quite fascinating really.

If you are struggling to process / think through the pain, a psychologist would of help to you. For the best outcome, ask the psych if they have an interest in psychosomatic pain

Go well

Yes anxiety can cause chest pains and numerous symptoms. Its your body thinking that there is a danger or some type of irrational fear. Your mind is a powerful place. Remember that your body reacts to your thoughts. Unfortunately we as humans have the capability of making ourselves sick. That's why when most people are stressed out they tend to get the flu or a cold. Try not to think about the chests pains but focus your thoughts on something else. Good luck.

I get those too. Doctor ruled out to be just anxiety... I've had all the tests done too, but she said it was stress and anxiety. Sucks so much
