Last 2 days I've been feeling a horrible burning feeling in my chest. Like yesterday it had started in the evening making me have a panic attack and it reached it's peak and then the burning feeling went away. Today it has started a little while after I got home about half hour ago. It's a horrible intense burning feeling. Anyone else get this?

    Yes! I get this ALOT. Been to ER several times because thought it was my heart. Keep being told it's anxiety or could be acid reflux (even though I don't have heartburn ). I get terrible anxiety because of it and just wish the Dr's could/would take the time to figure out what it is. I think I'd feel soo much better if I could find out what it was and get it treated.

    Yeah, I get this in my chest, throat, neck, shoulders and legs normally. Horrible sensation. It can be acid reflux if it's your chest or throat but either way, it's all down to anxiety. Try not to panic when it happens and maybe treat it with heartburn meds or something?
