Answer 1

First, see your doctor and have a thorough examination and work-up (blood tests, EKG, etc.). This will give you some peace of mind.

It may be that you are suffering from a "broken heart." As you state, you have not gotten over the situation.

Going through a challenging/difficult situation (the loss of a loved one, a divorce, serious illness, loss of a job, etc.) can be very traumatic. Everyone reacts differently to these circumstances. When a person experiences a trauma it can create a kind of "shock" to their being. This "energy shock" can be imprinted, literally, within the tissues/cells of the body. If, over time, this energy cannot be discharged or dissipated, it can possbily create some physical problems/symptoms--and in the long run, serious health consequences.

NOT TO WORRY--there is help. If AFTER a thorough work-up from your physician, you are deemed healthy with no heart or other problems there are ways to change the traumatic energetic pattern.

The Bach Flower Remedies can be of tremendous help in dissolving the damaging traumatic pattern. This is a system of 38 flowers developed by Dr. Edward Bach (a highly respected and successful Welsh physician who practiced during the early part of the last century). This system deals with rebalancing emotional/spiritual patterns and utilizes the healing properties of specific flowers. This works on a VIBRATIONAL/ENERGETIC level as opposed to a chemical level.

There is too much to explain in this short space. A suggestion: explore some of the references below for more info. If this is all knew and sounds unusual to you, be open-minded. The remedies are very easy to prepare and take and work in a gentle and subtle manner. I have used them for 20+ years. It is best to find a Bach Flower Practitioner/Counselor who has excellent experience and expertise and can suggest the appropriate remedies for your situation. If given the wrong remedies, nothing will happen. If given the correct ones, you will begin to feel better.

Whatever your difficulty has been, it is also important to acknowledge your feelings; let them surface AND MOVE ON. This is the type of situation (among many others) that can be aided by these wonderful, healing remedies.

Many blessings to you.

The best way is to have a doctor visit you. You cannot afford doubts with such a serious (eventual) problem. Maybe he will just tell you it's nothing, it's the general tension... Strong emotions can make your heart feel "tired".
It could also be a way of localizing emotional distress, your mental representation of the heartbreaking pain you went through and you focus your tensions on that part of the body. If you have someone who can help, a close relative, a friend or, better, a terapeut, you might find it helpful express your feelings, instead of keeping all inside.
These are just suppositions, the best way is to have a specialist decide, this was the point...
Good luck and take care!

Answer 3

Well before answering your question, i need to know a few facts about you??? your age, and nature of pain....... is it radiating??...... and also your wt.
Heart attacks are rather rare in persons below 40.

But considering what u have written only....... it is more likely to be some form of anxiety than a heart attack....but no one can be sure unless u get a professional advice.

If the problem is really bothersome, i strongly advise you to consult a doctor.

Answer 4

When you are thinking about the situation, do you find you are holding your breath or tightening around the rib cage. Some people do that as a response to emotional distress and then as you relax, the tissue in between the ribs goes into spasm.

Better to check with a doc and be safe though.

Answer 5

Stress. That's what causing your chest pain. You worring about your husband, and it causes your chest to hurt cause you worry to much. You need to see a doctor for some medication for stress and anxiety.
