Can anxiety do this

Can anxiety give you random chest pressure? I've heard anxiety gives you chest pain not pressure?just curious cuz everyday I get chest pains and a few weeks ago it changed to chest pressure and then pain and now pressure again it happens even when I'm out with mates not thinking about nothing

Hey. Yes it can, I get this near enough every day (usually at night) I have been to the GP about my chest pains and they told me it’s anxiety, I’ve had my blood pressure, blood tests and heart listened too. I know how scary this is, but I find the more you fear the pains in your chest the worse they come back! If I was you I would maybe go to your GP just for reassurance. You are not alone with this! Take care.

I have been exactly where you are. More than likely it is just anxiety. However, it's better to be safe than sorry. I have been to the hospital so many times and even went through radiation testing to make sure. It was indeed anxiety. Are you on any anti anxiety medication? I take citalopram daily and have ativan as needed for panic attacks.
