Anxiety and Chest Pains

[Padayn01]

I have a question and its a bit hard to explain, so i suffer with extreme Anxiety for about 15 years but in the last 8 months my Anxiety has got to levels that i thought were non reachable, i mean its so bad now that even when im having a conversation with someone my chest starts hurting and i just want to escape that situation so that my chest can stop hurting, just horrible, when the say Anxiety is a lonely place this is certain what i will be if i don't beat this. So my question is and it does sound silly does anyone suffer with similar symptoms like myself?

I can relate to your suffering. I go through bouts of anxiety that get so bad that I am afraid of everything. I can usually talk my way through but by the time the conversation is over I feel like a tick about to bust.

I have to force myself to live normally. They say exposure to what scares you will help in the long run.

Thank you for your reply i find breathing exercises help a bit, the one i do is hold your left nostril in and breathe in through the right one than exhale through the left one while at the same time holding in your right nostril and repeat for 5 mins
