cole,

How are you feeling now ?  Anxiety can cause chest pain but so can many other things such as GERD for one example.  If you still have the pain you may want to just put a call into your clinic and ask to speak to the triage nurse who can advice you on how to proceed.

I have had twinges of chest pain that just come and go but only last for a few seconds.  I did have an EKG after one episode along with labs to rule out a heart attack and all was well.

Big breath and remember to be your own best advocate.

Kindly,

Kitt

As already stated anxiety causes chest pain. Check your pulse rate, during a heart attack your pulse would be all over the place. Check your face do u have colour? Dont worry about a fast heartbeat as this can happen if ur panicking. Lots of times ive veen sure i was having a heart attack (i have a slight arrhythimia Ectopic Ventricular Beats and my heart sometimes beats a bit kwik for no apparant reason) also indigestion can cause left/mid sided chest pain.

i know it can cause chest pain but this was deeper. but i did notice im burping a lot sometimes i feel like i cant release all the air. i have a short pr intrival in my heart so it makes me that much more paranoid..i did have a lot of apple juice before bed and i usually have water..but i wouldnt think 10 hrs later it would affect me

Poor you!

And no matter what anyone says, it still feels so so scary...

I am having this odd chest pain/stitch sort of in my breast bone area and all I can thin of is it is my heart. I am so on edge it is ruining my days with my precious family...
I am seeing the Dr on Weds and am praying he'll find nothing wrong at all...

It is truly amazing how much power the mind has over us!

I hope you're feeling much relieved and the pain has fled...
