Me again..I got very stressed out with the kids today and I have a heavy dull feeling in my chest. Its hard to explain..its not like a crushing feeling or a squeezing feeling just a really heavy sort of feeling. no pain in arms no pins and needles im to scared to go to the er as I think that will cause me to panic..And today has been a good day with no panic attack..Just confused with the feeling I have I thought heart problems were on the left side and you got pains in your left arm..This is like ive been working out for and hour and just heavy...Can anyone shed some light.....

I had a registered massage therapist tell me once that some chest pains end up being ribs slightly displaced (common, I guess) and people often mistake this pain for heart related chest pain. One man actually thought he was going to have another heart attack but it ended up just being a rib displaced.  Maybe you'd benefit from seeing a registered massage therapist for several reasons: It would possibly help with your chest pains and it would give you time to yourself and you could just relax.  I've had my ribs "readjusted" and it was nothing like I thought - just kind of gentle rocking and massaging.  It felt quite nice! Good luck!

I am sure it is related to anxiety, however, I would still go see my doctor to double check.  Make an appointment and go.  Also, women experience different symptoms than men when dealing with heart issues, for example: pain in the jaw, nausea, etc....

I don't want to make you nervous...believe me...that is the LAST thing that we need, but it is important to be informed and be checked!!!
