    Muscular tension. It happens. Learn to cope. Relaxation is the key. Remember if you react to the sensations with more anxiety you'll snowball, you need to learn to relax and detach from it. It's scary yes, but you're not dying. Not even close to it. Anxiety is protecting you from nasty things if anything. So relax. Meditation etc I've told you a few times before how to cope, try doing it!

    Its hard when you are living with severe anxiety and chasiing after kids.most likely you were not breathing correctly as you were upset.

    Try not to worry I know easier said the done. Pain or tightness that last only seconds or minutes is.nothing to worry about. I've had pain in arm and chest for 6 months and they tell me I'm ok.

    I find sometimes writing letters about how I feel and getting my suppressed emotions out helps
