I haven’t had this in so long, I get chest pain every day, but I have the pressure feeling in my left side again, it’s so scary I begin to panick and can’t breathe to, it’s just gone but I’ve had it 5 times already tonight on and off only lasts about 3 minutes then comes again when it feels like it I just want a normal life, can anyone reassure me about heart attacks etc? And how I’d know more if I was having one to put my mind at ease i know your not proffesional or can’t diagnose me but just to feel better

Chest pressure
Hi my friend, it is mostly likely caused by muscle tension (due to anxiety). You can ask for an mobile ECG (24- hour Holter monitoring) from your doctor, just to prove that pressure is not caused by your heart,
I’ve emailed them, beczUs I can message my gp and they said they can arrange one but they ain’t in no rush so I just said no, I hate ekg,s that’s my worst fear, I’ve had so many and 24hr ones, echo of my heart and lungs all of that and they’ve proved I have nothing but I just think that was 2 years ago :/
I get this too. It’s pretty scary! I try and get to a quiet place in my house and sit, and try and quiet my racing mind by doing deep breathing. It can get tough to complete them when my anxiety and chest pain come in strong, but I talk to myself calmly and say it’s just anxiety, nothing serious is wrong with you, you have been to the Doctors and had tests done, and i deep breathe through it.
