Wow at I thought I was alone. Years back when I was a kid walking home from school I passed out on the sidewalk. I woke up to a friend that helping me up. Went straight to the doctor and they said it must of been the heat. I started to notice at times for no reason that my heart would start to race for no reason, so I thought. Later in life married and kids we lost not 1 but 2 homes which devastated me. One day while cooking dinner age 32 I started sweating and a fear of death so I walked outside so at least I would not be found dead in my kitchen, you know maybe someone could call for help. I was put on lexapro which did nothing and Ativan for the bad days which that did help. Now with all that being said and years of anxiety I wake up in the morning and after standing for as little as 10 mins I get a pain in my upper middle back that starts to worsen and later comes through my right upper Breast Bone. After enough time the pain covers my entire upper chest which never gets old, always causes panic. I went to the Doctor and they did an ECG, chest and back x-rays, blood pressure was a little high but I was also in a state of panic. And all showed nothing wrong. He gave me a few muscle relaxers and sent me on my way. Now Im out of meds and dont know what else to do other than find a Doc that can or will work with me.34 year old male just to let you know.Thanks

I have severe pain in upper middle back between shoulder blades.  It starts and then builds up radiating to chest and throat.  The pain lasts from 5 to 20 mins at a time.  I was having more frequent bouts of pain on and off over 9 days until one night it was so bad had to go to A&E.  ECG done, showed I'd had an M.I. (heart attack) about three days ago.  I was shocked and upset.  I was kept in and the following day had blood tests, chest x-ray and stress test.  All were normal.  I was allowed home but told to be careful and go staight back if pain starts again.  I cannot understand how ECG showed an M.I then all normal next day.  I am also worried sick that pain will start again.  Anyone experienced same kind of thing?

I have lower back pain, i have anxiety and i am depressed also. I always have a fear of something bad is gonna happen. I lost a friend to lung cancer and i started thinking that what was wrong with me...My nerves was so bad that i broke out in a rash on my left arm. My stress level is so high and i find myself just crying, I dont want to worry like this, I have panic attacks and i just dont want to do anything anymore. And when i do decide to come out the house it is dark outside, I want to know if anyone is going through some of the things that i am going through...I just want to stop worrying....

worrying is what I do best and I have these symptoms also and have been to doctors-nothing wrong. Wish there was a club we could join to get out all our worries and then go to bed peaceful

I visit this page after almost one year of the same feelings. I am getting very anxious than anyone and think that this is true. I was imagining to have heart problems, but the tests were negative too. I even couldn't sleep for long hours and sometimes the whole night. Just before reading your articles, tried a relaxation exercise in the morning after all night wake up time. It help me to release the pain or the bad feeling for a couple of hours. I tried to happily accept the reality as it is. I am feeling better. Please try not to get angry. As I remember the moments I was about to explode. Now I start to be very calm and get happy after all. Thanks to all for your contributions.

Pain between shoulder blades.  - I started to suffer from this pain and it got so bad that I couldn't eat.  I do worry about everything and was starting to think I was going mad. I went to the doctors and they prescribed me Pump Inhibitor tablets.  I've been taking them for three months uit started to notice the pain again.  I go back to the doctors tomorow and I'm going to ask to be referred.

The pain makes me quite run down as well.  

As a side note I would sugest to any ladies out there that are on the contraceptive pill to look at the links between that and anxiety.  You will be suprised,
