Do you ever feel physical chest pain when you have a lot of anxiety?

Question

…especially on the left side. I always worry it’s my heart but I kind of think my anxiety is causing the pain.

Answer

My husband has this so often he has gone to the ER thinking it’s a heart attack before. The doctors, after thorough testing, told him that (especially in men) people under the age of 35 are more likely to experience chest pain from stress than an actual concerning cardiac event.

Answer

25 years old , 2 open heart surgeries and high risk for cardiac arrest at any moment I still spend so many nights in the ER due to chest pains that go from My left side, down my left arm and into my back between My shoulder blades. I spend countless hours up at night playing the guessing game of is it heart related or anxiety but doctor confirmed part of it is more than likely anxiety.

Answer

All the time. It’s very uncomfortable. I tried explaining it to my husband and he thinks I’m nuts.
