Chest anxiety

[Silvs17]

Has anyone experienced chest anxiety that last for weeks. I've been feeling like a burning sensation? Has that happened to anyone? It's been going on for week. Went to the ER and I got told it was acid reflux bt I know it's not. Maybe it is bt caused by anxiety?! Wakes me up at night most of the time.

Yea I usually get weird sensations in my chest. Burning chest is one of them but they all vary. Could be anxiety have you been feeling anxious lately? I know when I feel anxious I get all sorts of symptoms.

Oh yeah, I've had anxiety for the last couple of months. This is kinda new though. Maybe 3 weeks and it comes and goes bt I always feel it in my sleep. Feels like a numbing/tingling/burning sensation

Anxiety has many different symptoms. It could very well be anxiety or like your doctors said it could be acid reflux. Your stomach may also be sensitive to anxiety, which may cause acid reflux. I know when I'm anxious my stomach is churning.

Had my first go round with reflux when my anxiety peaked about 6 months ago. Took awhile to realize what it was, including trips to a gastro doc. When my anxiety is low my reflux is gone. Stinks! Definitely a burning sensation....

Hello. I have had anxiety that feels like a hand reaching inside my chest and squeezing me non-stop for many months, but not the internal acid reflux you may have.

I get pains near my sternum and to each side of it. Anxiety causes my chest muscles to fritz out and get sore. Breath and rest

Hi Silvs17.......

Yep,

That exactly where it hits me first when I start feeling anxious,

Right in the chest.

I've been to A+E and everything,

Always thinking that something much more serious is happening,

But turns out that everybody is unique,

Even in the way that anxiety affects each of us !

But yeah,

Always the chest for me.

Always due to anxiety and nothing else !!!!!

Hope you get completely free of it from here onwards.
