Stress can cause all sorts of physical pain. I wouldn’t assume it’s Angina but get it checked out by your doctor.

Thanks I been deep breathing it's ok at moment lack of oxygen causes it and the arteries do close up when anxious

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Hi Curly1

Welcome to the forum

The BHF has this information about Angina

bhf.org.uk/informationsuppo...

As others have suggested speak to your GP or give the BHF helpline a call who are open every day and you can speak to one of the Cardiac nurses

I hope you feel more at ease soon

It could be related to GORD (acid reflux) which can give chest pain.

Hi. It's very similar to a panic attack. I have been suffering from this disease for a long time. I didn't know what to do, I was afraid of everything, it was driving me crazy. I would be unproductive, I would get tired quickly, I would get sick all the time, I thought this hell wouldn't end. I went to a therapist who said I just needed to relax and suggested kratom capsules. I was very skeptical because I was scared of my condition, but I tried. To be honest, kratom capsules make me believe that my stress is off... my stress is gone. I ordered it here apnews.com/press-release/ts.... Be healthy!

Thanks yeu I was told that it is mild panic attack I do deep breathing now and get out walking if I can to ease my stress before it gets out of hand and I have chamomile tea 😊
