Chest pains

[BHappiness]

Anyone else get daily anxiety chest pains non stop that come and go!? I am SO tired of dealing with this! I have had two EKGs done and a Holter monitor, given so much blood for tests, even for a ct scan done with due for a pulmonary embolism everything is NEGATIVE! It’s good but scary for me deal with these pains everyday.. they come and go. I’m only 23 they say it could be muscular skeletal issues but it’s only gotten worse! Are any of you dealing with this!?

Hello BHappiness

Over the years I have had most things that I have been convinced have to be something life threatening and I know your fear but you have to take things into consideration as this sounds more like your anxiety which has found a way in and making sure it stays there

You are young , 23 is young and the chances of anything been wrong with your heart are so slim , the fact you have had all these tests done even more points in the direction your heart is fine , those tests will pick up the slightest thing and had they seen anything that could possibly be a worry they would have followed it up , you have to keep reminding yourself of this

Also if you were to have anything wrong with your heart you would have known by now so even though I am not a Doctor after what you have said I feel you most likely will have one of the healthiest hearts out there after all those tests have come back negative

We have muscles and nerves all over the body the heart been a muscle and when we are anxious and worried it has to work twice as hard as well as we tense up which like any other muscle starts aching when we do , I feel if you could get top side of your anxiety you would stop feeling these things you are feeling now

I hope you are getting all the support with your anxiety you can and you know where we are if you need a chat

Take Care x

I'm relieved to hear that the doctors have performed all these tests and they have come back negative. Sounds like they're doing a thorough job. I understand your concerns you are young. I understand the stress/anxiety the pain is causing. Nothing worse than be in pain, it is exhausting, or it coming like lightning out of the blue. I hope that they get to the bottom of it soon.

Could these chest pains simply be heartburn?

Yes and I am so thankful for them but it’s so frustrating for me not knowing what it could be at the same time. I think it’s all in my head sometimes but I am really feeling these pains. I am on heartburn medicine! I have been for months. I have an upper GI test coming up soon to just take a look. Also, the pains are all over my chest! They come and go it’s sharp shooting pains, they’re very scary... I also get serve dizziness randomly like my heads spinning and I could pass out. Then also very fast heart rate 🙄 I never had any of these symptoms until I had my baby almost two years ago.... idk what’s going on!
