Had a panic attack last week and since then my chest has been hurting me and my arms hurt along with small back pain.iv had it for a few days now.i keep thinking its signs for a heart attack but the doctor said nothing's wrong with me after a took an x Ray an blood test.Anyone else get these and is it normal?

It will not necessairly go away LOL i get random pain off and on, but it's because of the panic disorder. If you can start getting a handle on the anxiety and find some coping methods, then the pain frequency should decrease.

I had that as well after my first panic attack, which is why I got a stress test done and various other tests. My doctor told me it is just the nature of the disorder, and that if the tests come back ok, and you are attempting to lead a healthy lifestyle, then to trust in the results and try to carry on. I know it is hard and scary when we get the physical symptoms. Next time, try to take 5 minutes and do some deep breathing and rationalizing with yourself, asking yourself why you might be feeling anxious, and what is the worst that is going to happen. You can find the thought record charts online, so those are an option as well.
