Anxiety induced by chest pain

Image, a beautiful sunny day and your sitting on a lawn chair under a big tree sipping lemonade when all of a sudden you get a sharp stabbing pain in the center of the chest. It goes from total relaxation to "oh no!" in about 3 seconds. This is a very typical reaction of anxiety induced by chest pains. Chest pain can create a quick and focused the feeling of fear around the body in what feels like an instant.

The first hypothesis is that your having a heart attack and that your going to die suddenly. After several minutes of experiencing chest pain, even if you do not have just yet died, which appears to be something serious. Symptoms such as chest pain may have required you can also visit the ER or arrange an appointment with your primary physician.

If you did go to see a doctor that he/she probably put through the paces of blood tests, ECG, stress test, and maybe even a portable recorder for good measure. Tests all came back normal and there were sent on your merry way. But still get the pain from time to time. So what is happening, it may be causing you anxiety to get these pains?

Let me just say that if you experience chest pain and haven't seen the doctor you should go to see him/her as soon as possible. Chest pain may be a sign of heart attack or other serious heart condition. Really I'm not trying to be alarmist, but this is just a fact. However, once it has been through the hamster wheel and have said that your problem is nerves that you might be experiencing anxiety-induced pain. Anxiety have the ability to make your chest hurt and generally does this in five ways.

1. gastroesophageal reflux disease or GERD causes the stomach to create excess acid which is "backup" in your esophagus which in turn creates chest pain and heart burn.

2. Esophageal spasm: in this way your lower esophagus to contract and disturbs the muscles in your chest wall. This is a casual and involuntary contraction of muscles.

3. stress: high levels of stress for an extended period of time can cause muscle stiffness and tension. This can lead to all kinds of aches and pains all over, including the area of the chest.

5. Panic attacks: is also very common to feel chest pain and shortness of breath, a panic attack.

I have read many articles that seek to explain the difference between chest pain and a heart attack. As far as I can tell there is little difference between the two. This is exactly why it is so important to see your doctor if you are experiencing new or different types of chest pain.

Once they have been checked out, however, you should relax and accept that not all chest discomfort is heart related. This is not to say that isn't frightening because it absolutely. I'm just saying that you should try to put your mind at ease so you can reduce your stress level, which would decrease the symptoms of anxiety that create pain.

I had this problem myself for about 2 years. And if ever you get used to it, you can relax your attitude towards it. It is important to not only get cancelled for security reasons, but also to reduce the amount of fear that can occur when the chest pain you hit. Chest pain is a variety of ways you can make you grab your chest and the impetus for days. The heart can feel "warm", it is possible to have short stabbing pain, the pain may radiate to the back, arms and chest can vibrate their muscles, muscles under your arm pits may be affected, etc. Chest pain may be an endless abyss of concern. So cut as if it were the concern and do what is needed to be reassured.
