chest pain

Dan88, I've been the same as you for 2 years now...it really, truly is anxiety...if you've been checked over & docs say you're fine, then you're fine. I tell myself it's my brain that's broken..it keeps trying to convince me something is wrong when it isn't.

Even now, I'm at work, cruising this site to remind myself I'm not alone & someone always pops up that is in the same boat. I think the upcoming holidays is adding to the stress levels.

You are not alone. Be well and kind to yourself :)

Dan,

I am sorry to hear of the pain and worry that you are currently going through.:(

Do you practice breathing exercises and progressive muscle relaxation?

Anxiety can cause exhausted thoratic mucles (from over breathing) and tense muscles all over the body. This can result in some pretty significant soreness in the chest.

If you need links for either one of these exercises, let me know, and I will be happy to post them for you.:)

S.C.
