Chest Pain

Hi Everybody...

Just wondering,  how long does everyone else's chest pain last?   Seems like my left pectoral muscle and sternum in the center of the chest stay "tender"  or a little bit sore for a day or two after a panic attack... anyone else experience this?    Thanks

My girlfriend was having what she thought was chest pains. Turned out she had a cracked rib. Could be something else w you too.

Yes. Panic attacks brought on by stress can mimic a heart attack.  There's a funny movie to watch, "something's Got to Give".  
  The Dr in the movie suggests we need to decompress.  Pamela
