At a lose

[Aliciar]

So having a great day making lunch for my family stirrings some pasta. I get an intense sharp pain in my upper right chest area. Last 2ish mins then of course i go into full on pain mode. I tried at first to breathe through it and just let it happen. So i go to a walk in clinic an hour later my pain at calmed down some but not all gone. The dr basically did nothing didn’t even do a ekg for chest pain. Said it was stress bc ive had a cardiac work up just resentfully. She said i was too young and my only risk factor is I’m over weight.

I don’t know what to do when i can’t trust my own body to tell me what’s goIng on. I’m at a lose I’m so fing sick of this.

It sounds like the pain could have started from stirring and then the pain triggered your anxiety. Anxiety is evil in that not only is it miserable but the symptoms are ever changing and mimic so many serious problems like heart disease. Tricky little devil! Try to find comfort in the fact that you have had a cardiac workup recently. I’ve never heard of someone going to urgent care for chest pain and not at least getting an ecg. Your pain however did not present as cardiac pain often does. Trying to educate yourself on anxiety, coping skills, recognizing triggers and relaxation techniques can help. A therapist is really good at helping with that along with getting to the root of what is causing it. I highly recommend it. One of the best treatments for anxiety and other mental health problems is exercise or staying active or busy. Take a walk. Get some fresh air. Diet can also play a big part. Certain foods are good and bad for anxiety. Idle minds breed negativity and anxiety. Read a book, take a walk (but focus on all the sights, sounds, smells, feels) journal, exercise, watch tv. Just focus. Use your brain for something productive. While cooking out on some tunes and sing. Keep that mind active. That also helps you sleep better at night. Best of luck.

If it's in the crease between your chest and your belly this is quite common in obese people myself included normally caused by eating to much exercise daily is the only answer, if you smoke give it up your body is warning you
