hi im not from singapore but from england, i just wanted to let you know i to suffer from daily chest pains and other heart related symptoms.

Hi, scaredjo , I had done ct scan and ultrasound test for my heart, everythings show fine, but still having all short of crazy symptoms, especially the daily chest pain like you. My chest pain always come together with stomach discomfort so I'm always confused I don't know what  medication should I take, something for stomach or pain killer for chest pain? How About you? What do you do for you chest pain? Are you under any medication, does it help? How long have you suffer from anxiety??

hi i just try to ignore the chest pain and tell myself its only anxiety, i have dealt with this for 15 yrs but been focused on my heart bad for 2 1/2 years. i take beta-blockers but im not sure if they really work. maybe your having indigestion or something because its connected with the stomach, although anxiety can cause stomach symptoms too.
have you tried any therapy? it helps a lot.
the key is to believe the tests you have had and trust that these symptoms ARE anxiety only then can you move on and get better.
how long have you been having the chest pains for?

Hi, scaredjo. I'm having chest pain for 2years. That was after my panic attack and I kept having the chest pain all over my chest, sometime on the right behind the breast bone and sometime in the middle of my chest or on my left.How about you? It's really hard to believe that I'm fine and just having anxiety with the consitant pain. It's everydays!!! But I will do as what you said, "like believe the and trust the test". Thank you!!!

hey all,

i'm from singapore and well, i am not "formally" sure if i suffer from anxiety disorder, but here's what i go through for the most part. for a start, i'm up for an appointment with SGH somewhere in the coming month so, i guess i'll see after that.

for many years, i've been coughing hard, and i do mean HARD. my throat and chest hurts, i wretch alot and occasionally i puke. i go through this alot when i feel the least bit anxious or nervous. my chest pains, for the most part it feels like an overwhelming pressure on my heart and it feels dreadfully uncomfortable. sometimes, i get this huge surge of pain, almost like a stab to the heart and i cringe and cough just to get through the pain, quite a rare occurrence though.

i don't know how this keeps happening. i tend to over think things alot, not by choice, and all my symptoms just start flooding in and i feel extremely down trodden. i probably am over-stressed, and have been for the past 4-5 years. i don't know what i'm facing come the doctor's appointment so i'm pretty worried right now.

dont be scared doctors are there to help you, i wretch a lot to when im anxious and sometimes be sick. let us know how you go on, also my doctor told me that pain felt in the heart is totally nothing to do with the actual heart

thanks for the vote of support jo

i just feel like there's no one to talk to. people around me keep trying to rationalize the problem and it makes me feel like i'm just totally out of it. i don't know, it seems so cliche but alot of times, there's just nobody there.

i feel better somehow =)

i know how u feel people dont understand unless they go through it. this forum is a great support network and if you ever need to chat message me. dont feel alone it will only make the anxiety worse

To: Mike,

Don't worry, you see,  I actually had done CT scan, ultrasound and chestx-rays for my chest, everythings show fine even though I've got the chest pain everydays. So, as for you maybe we are all the same just anxiety.Although  It's hard to believe, but somehow it's true. The horrible symptom just won't go away. But I trying very hard to accept it, like what scaredjo said the key is to believe you're just having anxiety, because the more you worried, it's only going to trigger more attack. Stay calm, good luck!!
