chest pains and anxiety

[CG822]

I have NEVER had any sort of chest pain till I started having anxiety.  My anxiety came froma bad relationship, tho I am mentally much better, I still have some anxiety and when I do, I get the sudden chest pains that make me jump.  99% of the time when I am laying down trying to go to bed.  tightness and sometimes a little burning.  What can I do to make this better??  This too scares me sooo much and makes my anxiety worse!  Iw ant to just freak out and cry!!

Hi.  I was just hospitalized for chest pains caused by anxiety.  The best thing to try and do is relax.  Think positive and be grateful for our good health.  I have been trying to replace all and any worries with something positive. =)

one option is go on medication, I had the same problem but now I take Celexa and all of that nonsense has stopped.

hi i have chest pains too all through anxiety, it can be caused by heartburn, indigestion too. chest pains are very common in anxiety, as someone suggested you can try medication and some therapy. i choose to not take medication so just have to try and ignore them. just remember when you get the symptoms remind yourself that its just anxiety. i trust you have told your doc about these symptoms? keep us posted

Oh yes, I am on meds and I go to therapy every other week.  I am well aware what the cause is, I took a Xanax last night and it stopped them.  I feel mad at myself for some reason.  I feel like "how did u get to the point to where u have to take a pill to calm u down, and NOW get rid of chest pains?"  I am a positive thinker but it just makes me mad.  Im 25!  I should NOT be having chest pains when I begin to think a certainw ay or get upset.  It just annoys me.

I REALLY want to get into Yoga!

I went to the Dr today.  They did an EKG.  Everythings fine.  They said I also have an upper res. infection.  Since I live in MI, it is soooo cold and snowy.  I feel some what better, have to learn to control my anxiety better.  Still having chest tightness, they gave me an Albuterol inhalor.  I hope It gets better!

Thanks for the support.

It is only when I lay down really.  It like jumps at me when I try to go to sleep!  its annoying and makes me nervous!  of course!  I do breathing, eventually I do fall asleep.

what is your chest pain like? it is hard to describle for me. i am online looking for answers now. i just woke up with chest pain in my breast/heart area like someone is pricking me deeply with a needle. sometimes it is like a major discomfort, but no pain, jsut tingly. scary. i am aftraid to go to bed. i was not having a bad dream, either. but the pain/sensation woke me up. happens a lot during the day all over my chest and has woken me up twice now. no answers on my end yet.
