This pain comes & goes, lasts for a few minutes.
This along with pain in upper jaws & teeth has me worried.
I've had the scans, xrays, ekg's but still think they're missing something...

Have been dipping onto my Ativan more often lately and I know I'm very stressed at work.
How can I quieten this anxiety??

Sorry you are going through this.:(

Random aches and pains can be part of the anxiety experience...and you have been checked out thoroughly and recently from a medical standpoint....so now is a great time to focus on anxiety management skills.

Here are some great exercises to get you started.:)

Hey there!
Of course I am not educated as a doctor, but I can share one of the things a veteran cardiologist told me before.
He exactly said "in all of these years I spent as a doctor, i've never encountered a terminal disease with 'coming and going' mild symptoms..."
I was told that serious diseases almost always have persistent and severe pain. They wouldn't even give you a minute of peace.

I know its hard but try to calm down. You had your tests, all were clear :D
Enjoy it ^^

Thank you S.C & Rrakkma. I' m going to remember those words R. I suppose when you think long & hard about that, it makes a lot of sense. We all have terrible times & this page is a Godsend.
I often want to comfort others when I read the posts but don't know what to say other than I know what you're going through.

P.G.

That is more than enough! Anxiety can be isolating...it feels like we are the only ones who are going through it.

It helps simply to have someone say "I understand."

Keep posting!!:)
