Where on your chest? If it's in the center or front right or left side it could be either a slight cold or muscle strain although you may also feel muscular pain near your arm pits which would suggest you lifted something heavy.

I know is so hard! i use to be at the doctors office every few days till he told me i need to go get a life and stop worrying about constantly getting sick!!!
i got another doctor instead LOL.. i'm trying to make you smile..
i still get the anxiety but not as severe as before and i swear what stopped it no more caffeine, sugars, and alcohol!!! and taking a vit D everyday
For me right now is that i hate travelling away from home, as much as i loved to travel all over the place i'm getting sick just thinking to go visit my daughter 3 hours away...
You will be ok
just breath and let all the bad thoughts out of your mind
Hope you feel better xxx

Lol you made me smile Maria thank you. I must admit my dr is fantastic, she really does listen. Plus I'm going through menapause now, that's what started my anxiety off again. I start counselling next week so hopefully that will help. Take care and thank you again x

I have had that if it is the same, that is. Look up Costochondritis.

I eventually saw my gp (I first put it down to fibromyalgia) ,but gp said ,whilst FMS patients can be more prone to this ,it`s not an actual fibro pain ,but costochondritis.
Just finding that out helped me not to worry so much.He also gave me naproxen..Unfortunately these helped a little ,but ,despite having omoprezole for my stomach ,they upset it badly ,plus i came out in ulcers all around my mouth.
My next apt with my gp isn`t until 28th march.Anybody know of anything else i might consider to help the pain ,without awful side effects? Btw ,hope you`re feeling much better now ,and your pain has eased considerably?xx
