    Yes I have this too.

    When my anxiety kicks in (which is all the time) I get Sharpe pains in my armpit. I spoke to my doctor about it and he said it was my brain making up pains.

    If your that worries, go see your GP he will help.

    I calmed myself from a panic attack about an hour ago because I was feeling that exact pain on my right side. It totally freaked me out and caught me off guard. Went into immediate panic thinking "breast cancer!" I realized I was blowing things out of proportion and I have been feeling pains come and go from head to toe. I read on another discussion that our anxiety manifests itself in many ways, this bodily pains and discomforts being one of them. It's Anxiety's way of saying "still here, don't forget about me!" 😩
