Chest and back pain/pressure

Posted , 3 users are following.

I have this everyday for months now. I get scared or is something more than stress or anxiety. Does anyone else have this ? I have gotten ekgs, echos, one ct scan of chest and blood work and all doctors tell me it is anxiety

    if tests have been done and drs say is anxiety, then they would know better than any of us, they are experts after all

    i would get similar symptoms as well and was told it was anxiety. and the doctors know more than their patients and since everything came back normal i think you should be fine. maybe try to reduce your anxiety by seeing a psychologist or a psychiatrist to prescribe you medication and hopefully that'll work?

      I have been seeing a physcologist. I have been really trying to not use meds but I might have to. Do you take meds ?

      i was taking ativan but i had some bad side effects so i stopped taking it. i was then prescribed rhodiola rosea and that medicine has helped me so much with the symptoms you also had, it's a lot more natural and calming. ive been having trouble sleeping even before this medication tho and i read that in rare cases rhodiola rosea can also cause insomnia so i had to stop taking it unfortunately. i was really hoping medicine would be a last resort for me as well but my anxiety was just so bad. it all depends on you tho if u feel like u want to take some medication just be aware of some of the side effects.
