chest pain?

Question

i keep getting chest pressure on my left breast bone. it comes and goes and is in my arm area also. could anxiety be doing this?

Answer 1

Anxiety definetely causes this. I know whenever I get anxious
I always get the chest pain on the left side and also the arm.
When I get this, I get even more anxious and start thinking that I am having a heart attack. I ended up at the emergency room one night because it got so bad. Guess What ? They told me that it was an Anxiety/Panic Attack. Try to breathe in and out slowly and it will ease up. But do see a doctor. If you want to ask me any other questions, just email me.

Answer 2

You asked if anxiety can cause chest discomfort....yes. Sadness and anxiety can give you the same symptoms as a heart attack, because the emotional distress causes changes in blood flow. When you have heard it said that a person felt like their heart was "broken", they were telling the truth.
If no damage was done, the heart can return to normal blood flow. If the pain is due to physical abnormality, then medical attention is needed. You can't tell the difference from a discussion with some one on line. See a doctor.

Answer 3

Depends on how long this has been going on....but chest pain and arm pain is a sign of a heart attack. I would definately go to the doctor or call 911. Hope you are ok!!
