      Hi

      look up your nerves on anatomy you will the major ones originate head neck for your area

      suspect you are Sat hunched over a laptop with rounded shoulders squeezing your breastbone there really isn't any reason for pain here !! Referral pain from indigestion but nothing serious

      tingling. arms fingers etc from trapped nerves due to posture

      stand up rotate arms lift shoulders up n down around in and out deep breaths put chin up loosen neck your ok x

      hi sameer i get the chest pain with anxiety i seem to suffer with that symptom more than any other symptom associated with anxiety and that scares me, the past few days i have had severe chest pain, all associated with anxiety it starts in my left breast area then travels to the centre of my chest feels really heavy then back of my throat feels like i cannot swallow then it travels to my back its horrible! had ecgs blood tests etc to rule out anything else and yes its all anxiety! been to doctors gave me strong co codamol for pain seems to be helping slightly but i need to help myself also with deep breaths and lots of reassurance, u will be fine hun i know what your going through try some painkillers and take some deep breaths and try occupy your mind onto something else easier said than done! it does get better trust me i have good days and bad days more bad days than good recently but im keeping optimistic that i am going to beat this and not the other way round! got the feeling now that its something else just trying to think different message me if u need any reassurance smile im 22 also smile x

      Yeah the choking feeling is horrible why does anxiety cause so many symptoms sad im not entirely sure what has caused all this I think stress from work to be honest and I would say I have been like this about 8 momths gradually getting worse but hopefully getting better how about yourself? What is your main symptoms?
