It seems like sometimes I feel a pain in my chest though. It goes away after awhile. I am not sure if it's from anxiety or not though. It makes me anxious when I have it ya. Does anyone know how chest pain from anxiety would feel like. Thanks.

Hi

Yes anxiety can cause chest pain and so can stress I get it quite a lot so I do all I can to reduce my anxiety/stress levels and the pain usually goes.

AG,

Chest pain from anxiety is usually muscular, from tension and/or rapid shallow breathing.

Practicing Progressive Muscle Relaxation and breathing exercises can bring relief.

See the top of the forum page here for great self help material to relax and feel your best.:)
