mad But this is bothering me 2nd in a row and Iam in pain just hurts along with feeling like I need to throw up, feels like the pain is in my chest and stomach at sametime took vital signs and again fine what is this. Doctor said top part of my heart beats faster then rest, but nothing serious and also believe I have Costochondritis. How I got that I don't know because I didn't get in no accident I just want to know what is going on, I don't like being in Er either only for them to say they think it is this had chest xray said it was fine. I did have some spicy food around 2 something it is now 12,I've diarrhea now and nausea sorry for all the to much info just wondering if anyone else has had to deal with anything like this?

Yes SoulnHealing, I have, and it truly breaks my heart that you are going through it cry .

I know it is super hard, but try and trust the doctors. They have a lot of experience, even with anxiety disorders. If they say we are okay, we have to put our faith in their expertise. And anxiety is a devilish beast that can cause all sorts of crazy symptoms. Just look at this list. And it isn't even a complete list!

Are you on any medication or in any therapy for your anxiety?

Hi SoulnHealing

Yes anxiety can cause all sorts of weird symptoms including the ones you mentioned and it sounds like you have been given the all clear from your doctor so believe in their diagnosis which is hard I know. The good thing with anxiety is a lot can be done to help such as taking medication or doing some talking therapy such as CBT you could speak with your doctor about these and in the meantime check out our resources thread which can be found on the main page first post and also keep posting here we are here to support you.

Thanks all for the advice.

Jolleg, WOW! I have never looked at that list before; it's frightening that anxiety can do all of those things to us :(

Soul, I hope you feel better. I know exactly how you feel in terms of second guessing a doctor diagnosis, as I have been doing it since I first went.

Costochondritis is inflammation of the breast bone and can be very painful
I think stress brings on inflammation
Stress also causes tummy troubles- I can attest to that...
I wish you all the best and hope you feel better soon
