Anxiety chest pains

[young85]

Hi guys,

I’ve suffered for years with anxiety and chest pains.

The pains I get are a stabbing in the left chest, the pains can also be very sharp, and sometimes they can just be painful, they last anything from half a second, to 5-10 seconds, but they make you even more worried and anxious, I’ve been to the doctors 3 times and explained the symptoms and he’s not at all concerned. Do any of you experience this?

It's most likely the anxiety but if you need peace of mind see a cardiologist. Once you're cleared except the fact that it's just anxiety. Find ways to cope. It truly isn't easy. As sufferers we need to literally take it a day at a time.

I have this almost daily. Right now. My legs , feet and hands have been tingling since Monday and my leg muscles have been weak since then as well. I won’t get to see my neurologist for a while so I’m just anxious and making it worst. I guess the best thing is to distract yourself if possible.

I also get them! And right after I have a massive panic attack they get worse! I’m always anxious so I know it’s anxiety

I’m off work with it. Chest discomfort for a week with dizziness and weakness. Driving me mad as I can’t do anything

Have been dealing with the exact same for 5 years now. Sharp, stabbing left sided pain. Comes and goes, usually get it for 4/5 weeks everyday, then will go away for a couple months or so then return! Have you got any answers since writing the post?
