Yes, it could be a psychosomatic response.

Yes it is. The stress and anxiety from being upset can cause very real physical symptoms. Although your emotions are causing the physical problems do not let people convince you that the physical symptoms are all in your head. Whatever the cause may be your physical symptoms are real. When some people get overly stressed their blood pressure raises. This is an example of a real physical response to an emotional upset. If the pain is really bad or on-going then you need to see a doctor and maybe be prescribed an anti-depressant.

Yes, I just saw a TV program...not sure which one, but might have been "60 Minutes" where a doctor has shown there is actually a physical change in a "broken heart" giving some of the same symptoms as a real heart attack but fortunately not the long term damaging effects. I wish I could refer you to where I saw it. You might check ABC, CBS or NBC websites for a search for last week,s featured topics.

Yep.
Some people get back pains-- they say it's from heavy lifting. The real reason is they're probably carrying a lot of problems, and the back is the psychological place to put it.
That's just one example, but the mind is a powerful thing. Some people don't think there is any real pain, but it's all just from a psychological thing, such as a broken heart or heavy problems. Hmm...

it's not actual chest pains, it's anxiety which are causing adrenaline rushes. Adrenaline rushes are not healthy when they're constant so I would try and take some deep breaths when you are thinking about your pain and repeat to yourself that you will be okay. Broken hearts happen every day but we can control how we react to them. The adrenaline rushes are your mind telling your body that you feel out of control and therefore produces anxiety.

I believe it's possible.
I remember having a broken heart a very long time ago & I cried so much that my chest did hurt. In fact my head hurt pretty bad also.
If this is the case for you, always try to remember... 'THIS TOO SHALL PASS!'
Hope your hurt goes away really soon! [smile]

no, it is not possible... it is certain and unavoidable.
the body came before the poetry, the feeling came before the pain.
when someone in love, realising the love was either lost or impossible wanted to describe it, he, she or it could only explain how it felt: a broken heart, chest pains and all!
(wait until you find out what labor pains are like... you'll like them!)

Yes. A broken heart hurts emotionally and physically. Time is the only prescription to fix it.

Yes, you can have a panic attack or anxiety attack. These can often be confused with a heart attack. I'm sorry for your loss, no matter how it seems you WILL get through it and find the upside of this whole thing. You will get to the point where you don't hurt anymore, I promise. Just takes time.

You could be dealing with anxiety attacks that's probably why you are having chest pains due to the stress and hurt you are going through.
