Does anyone have daily chest tightness from this anxiety

I get daily everday chest tightness with this anxiety. Going on 2 years with this. I also get shortness of breathe but I am doing better with that doing the breathing exercises. I also get many days where I just don't feel good. This anxiety studd causes all sorts of stuff from depression because you can't just will the anxiety away and headaches, body aches you name it. It sad to know that so many of us suffer from it. Breathing exercises daily are real important and so is positive thoughts when the negative creap in. It's real hard to change our thoughts that's I guess why I am still stuck with it.

You don't always have to just deal with it; you can use it to your advantage.  My anxiety an panic stemmed from worries about my heart health and chest pains like jo.  For many months I would not believe that this could possibly be caused by anxiety/panic.  But as I sought help through my doctor and therapist, I learned more about the cycle, which gives you the knowledge to overcome and adapt to this condition.  Many times, and I realize everyone is different, we tend to become oversensitized and misinterpret 'symptom;' i.e we tend to think worst case scenerio for every little pain, etc.  First off, I assume you have been checked out medically by a doctor and told it was just anxiety.  Next step is to confront, which you are just by being here.  Keep us posted!
