Horrible chest pain.
Posted , 4 users are following.
Hi everyone, I've been having horrible chest pain lately and want to know if this is common with anxiety. I can say I get the chest pain 24/7 with breaks here and there and it's been this way for about a month. It is somewhat better when I lay down but it can happen then too and worse when I'm sitting down. I never usually feel when i'm walking, climbing stairs etc. The pain is different everyday it feels. One day in the left side, the next in the right. Sometimes a stab sometimes like I got hit in the stomach. I've done an ECK/EKG whichh was normal. Echo which was normal. Chest x-ray which was normal. Blood tests normal. Holter moniter 24hrs was normal.
I'm female,
22 years old
don't smoke
no diabetes
no history of heart disease
normal cholesterol and blood pressure and heart rate
105 lbs, 5'2
i am inactive and don't exercise however
I have an appintment in 2 weeks for a Coronary CTA.
2 weeks seems like forever, what do you guys think. Does this sound heart relatedd?

have you discussed anxiety with your doctor at all yet? Have you been offered any medication to control your anxiety?
There are deep breathing techniques and visualisation that can help you to relax as well. I can talk you through them if you like. Feel free to message me. Big (((hugs)))

I always get chest pain, i've had like 6x ECG's, 2 stress ECG's, a 72 hour ECG and an echocardiogram. Each ones come back fine so im trying to convince myself theres nothing to worry about. I downloaded some statistics on heart diseases in the UK the other month, i'm a similar age to you (23) but male.
In 2010, only 102 men under the age of 35 died from a result of coronary heart disease. And for you, only 36 women died under the age of 35, so just by that statistic its very very rare that you'll have any kind of build up in your arteries.
