Heavy chest?

Does anxiety cause like a heavy feeling on your chest? Ever since my panic attacks happened I constantly feel this heavy weight on my chest and my breathing is off, but I pay so much attention to it so I feel like that’s why it feels off to me. My chest is always sore too. I also work at a group home and one night when I felt like my breathing was off my co worker did that breathe intake ratio thing on my finger and she said it looks completely normal and so does my heart rate. I’m 19 btw, with no heart conditions in the family as far back as my great grandparents.

Yes, sadly this is a terrible physical symptom. I have this feeling too. I notice it a lot and same with the breathing. I think it’s just because when I notice it, I pay too much attention to it :( I’m 19 a well. I’m sorry to hear that you’re going through this.

It sucks fr. That’s my problem is when I’m distracted or having fun I don’t even notice but the moment I’m like at home watching my phone or something it’s all there
