I have been taking a medication for anxiety for awhile. I think it helps only a little with the anxiety condition. It don't really seem to help with my chest pain that I get from anxiety though. Does anyone know if a medication for anxiety should help with chest pain caused by the anxiety condition. Any advice would be nice. Thanks.

I only take benzos as needed. My chest pain with the klonopin goes away almost completely. I have not found any med that helps with the pains besides that and obviously I cannot take the benzo daily. So I try to relax and stay busy. When I am really busy I do not have time to concentrate in the chest pain. With the health anxiety every little sensation becomes huge so i am trying to work on that.

Hi AG,

You have received great advice above, so I will just add encouragement to practice self help coping skills everyday to help relieve the physical symptoms that your meds are not covering. Breathing exercises, meditation and progressive muscle relaxation are all good choices, and can be found in our Resources.
