Answer 1

Yes, This article will help you:
Depression is hard on the heart

Depression, anxiety, and stress not only impair a person's mental well-being; they may also trigger angina pain or discomfort. Stressful emotions can cause an increase of hormones in the nervous system that activate the "fight-or-flight" response, causing higher blood pressure and a faster heart rate that, in turn, increase the work of the heart. Blood flow—already slowed by narrowed arteries caused by coronary artery disease (CAD)—is decreased, which may then increase the risk of an angina attack. The more attacks a patient has, the more depressed he or she may become, which again may affect the arteries and heart. Patients may enter a vicious cycle of angina pain or discomfort and decreased well-being. In addition, their physical fitness level may decrease because they are participating in fewer physical activities.

On a practical level, depression may make patients with angina less motivated to comply with medical treatment and make healthy lifestyle changes, such as exercising and eating well. Not complying with a drug regimen can backfire, because medications work best when they are taken on a regular schedule that helps keep adequate levels of drugs in the blood. When a depressed person doesn't feel motivated to exercise, but instead turns to cigarettes, alcohol, or overeating to cope with emotional pain, he or she may be courting obesity, diabetes, and a risk of worsening heart disease.

Depression often goes hand-in-hand with anxiety, another emotion that can be harmful. In one study of heart attack survivors, anxiety was linked to higher rates of rehospitalization for cardiac problems and more frequent doctor's visits for heart symptoms.

Answer 2

Emotionally, yes. Physically, it's possible. Well, it can often be confused with emotional pain, since it's hard to tell if it's your chest hurting or your heart(physically). However, some say that depression is the absense of all feeling and interest. In that case, you're truly depressed when you've gotten to the point where you've already been extremely sad and your heart already hurt. Therefore, being depressed would then simply mean not feeling anything.. or not wanting to do anything because of the sadness that had overwhelmed you and turned you into a senseless being.

Answer 3

Yes, depression causes all kinds of physical pain including the heart.

Answer 5

Yes, all people just beause they are depressed doesn't mean they can't feel other emotions... Depression is just the lack of ability to remove yourself from a funk that keeps your emotions down. You can even be happy but it is muted in the fact that you can't let go of the other lower emotions.

Answer 6

1) It depends upon your definition of pain.

2) Some may and some don't.

3) "Heart pain" is not a criterion for diagnosing depression, so it appears that no, they don't, and if they do it is not because of depression.

Answer 7

They feel pain in the chest, but I doubt it is your physical heart. You can get palpitations and increased blood pressure from being stressed or upset, I guess that can cause pain in the heart.

Answer 8

Some of them do. Depression can cause many physical and emotional pains. It's weird what all it can do to the body...
