Chest pain.

[alvaa]

I keep getting a feeling like a catch in my breastbone. I don't think it is heart related, it feels more like pressure on the outside of my bone but I also have some tingling in my left hand. I am subject for carpel tunnel because I am a computer programmer. I just need some reassurance. I have been diagnosed with anxiety and depression and I worry about my health. I had blood work done in February and everything was normal. I tend to get arythmias and fast heart rate when I am having a panic attack.

It's not like real pressure. I am very mindful of my heart and it beating. Whenever I have anxiety I can tell when I have an arrhythmia and where it is. This more like a popping. Like when your knee pops? Except it feels like my breastbone.

I have tingling and numbness in the morning in my right hand and was told that was carpel tunnel syndrome.  When you say pressure, is it in the center of your chest?  In any case, you may want to follow up with your doctor to be sure you are not ignoring something.
