    sometimes little nerves get irritated and they can cause those sensations. It’s no big deal it’s not serious. Remember that we all get so many different body sensations such as itchy feelings, pressure, pain here and there , aches etc.The body is so complex that it’s natural we feel different sensations. Try not to focus so much on your body and do other things to stay busy.

    I have that same exact issue! I thought I was having a heart attack. Would you get shortness of breath too?

    I had a blood test and ekg and everything checked out and I would have a pitching and pressure on the breast bone and the breast. When keeping mind active it tends to go away.

    I have experienced this many times. I used to take amphetamines for ADHD and it was so bad. Often described it as an itch under my chest that I wanted to dig into and scratch. CNS stimulation through meds or even coffee made me more anxious and worsened the sensation. Everyone is different but, I'd suggest avoiding those things if possible, and learning some skills online or in therapy to stop in a moment of high anxiety and shift your mind
