Chest pain that comes and goes

[ShiroeMakishima]

For a few days now I've been having chest pain in my left breast closest to the middle of my body.  The pain lasts anywhere from a few second to maybe about a minute then it goes away and comes back again in a few minutes.  I've read somewhere that it could be due to anxiety and I do have moderate to server anxiety and I have been having a lot more panic attacks than usual but they are almost never accompanied by chest pain. Unfortunately I do not have health insurance and can't afford to see my doctor especially if it turns out to be nothing, but I've been losing sleep because of this.  Like whenever I start to feel that pain it immediately triggers a panic attack and I'm up all night. I think I should mention that I mostly have this pain at night, sometimes I feel pain during the day but it doesn't come back. Only at night is it when the pain comes and goes.

It does kind of sound like you pulled something.

Get blood work done when you go in.
Check Vitamin D.

Magnesium supplements help with muscles. Citrate and Glycinate are good

Hi there.  Could you have a pulled muscle too?  But yes, anxiety does cause this as well as other things.  I know you say you can't afford it but seeing a doctor is the best thing.  Call the doctors office, perhaps they will work with you.  sometimes they'll accept a cash payment and might do a sliding fee scale.  Urgent cares sometimes offer this.  While you wouldn't be seeing your own doctor at an urgent care, you'd be seeing A doctor which is important.  Clinics work too.  So, see what your options are to be seen.  That's my best recommendation.  And if you have a history of panic attacks and anxiety, do you have treatment for that?  When you are at your visit, talk about resuming that treatment if you are on break from it.  good luck hon.  I'm sorry you are going through this.

I called and was able to get on a sliding scale so hopefully it would be too expensive. I wish I was taking something for my anxiety but when I did have health insurance the medication wasn't covered, but I'll talk to the doctor and see if there might be a cheaper alternative.  Thank you!
