Anxiety arm pain - heart or anxiety?

Sorry you are so scared.

Your brain isn't telling you it's a heart attack. You are telling your brain it's a heart attack.  You are getting symptoms because you have convinced yourself it's heart related.  The tests don't lie. Your heart is fine. 

Anxiety is the culprit. It causes hundreds of symptoms, including pain anywhere on the body.  

The more you panic, the worse the symptoms get.

The only way to get rid of symptoms is to calm down your brain.

Do an experiment.  Listen to "mindful breathing meditation guided 10 minutes " on you tube. This is very important to learn when you have symptoms. Use earbuds for a better effect. The focus is on the present moment.

Also, Listen to meditations for anxiety. They totally calm down my mind and body and symptoms.  They teach you how to separate yourself from anxiety So symptoms diminish or go away.  

Dont let anxiety and fear control your life.  You take charge.  You have to have the attitude of " I'm ok. I have this symptom but it will subside." Then go right to the breathing technique.  

Your gonna be OK. 😀??

If the tests came back fine you have nothing to stress about! I have always had chest pain/tightness from my anxiety. And during bouts of severe stress and anxiety I have pain in my arm. I just remind myself I'm okay and this is something I feel from having anxiety. Wishing you peace of mind! <3

Hi brother i have same feelings for 3 years it’s all In our mind connect with me in my Whatsapp 0071504657579

 

I have severe anxiety i was in the royal hospital this morning with severe lower arm pain and rang ambulance had a resting blood pressure of 100 im 19 by the way didnt know it was normal till i had a heart trace and ecg came back perfect yoga helps with breathing and your mind will trick u into beliveing your having a heart attack my gp told me that with anxiety if it is severe enough you will experience heart attack related symptoms but in actuall fact ia that anxiety can mimic a heart attack for your pain try paracetamol over the counter pain killers but make sure your not allergic to this

Did you ever find out the cause of your arm? I have health anxiety REALLY bad and I've been having pain in my upper left arm for about 3 days. Of course I'm certain it's serious and I feel like I should go to the ER but that's what I always do.

Ecgs and bloods would highlight if there was something of concern. Your pain in your arm and shoulder is likely because your tensing the muscles, an effect of the worry and stress you're putting yourself through. You're in 24 hour fight/flight mode and your body is getting prepped to react to a threat that isn't coming.

Best thing you can do is try some calming technique's, deep breathing and maybe book in to see your doctor to see if there's an anxiety treatment they can recommend. Best wishes x

Hi there! I hope you are feeling better by now! I experience very similar arm and chest pains, almost always on my left side. Ofcourse, anxiety is the devil, so I am always convinced I am having a heartattack. Long story short I ended up going to the ER because of the pains and heart palpitations. They did an EKG, blood work, and a chest X-ray...and everything was perfectly normal. Im still struggling a little bit with the arm and chest pains from time to time but I always try and remind myself that its just anxiety
