Discomfort and pain between shoulder blades

Hi JA3344, of course only your doctor can tell you what is really going on. I will say that

any kind of body pain is possible with anxiety. While looking back at your posts, I noticed

that you do suffer from Health Anxiety. I can only imagine when being in a state of fear

with each new symptom you experience, your body tenses up. Posture can play a big

part of pain and discomfort between the shoulder blades. When we are scared we are

more likely to go into a fetal position when we are sleeping and when awake we may

continue with our head jutted forward, our shoulders rounded which is all putting intense

strain on our upper back.

These are just my own experiences with body pain due to anxiety. Please get professional

advice if it continues since it does seem to be something new that has come about. xx

Yes! Mine if from my posture, my back and chest muscles are always tight and hurting, sometimes even sharp pains 😭 my doctor said my chest muscles are shortened from slouching and my back muscles are stretched out causing way more pressure to my back then their should be 😭
