Thoracic back pain and health anxiety

Hi Stephen,

Your doctor is satisfied and your bloods are fine so stop worrying. If there was anything wrong the bloods would indicate reasons for further tests to be carried out.

Remember, anxiety intensifies pain and vice versa so try to chill out.

Some tips for you that I have taken from the net which helps me:

.....Try to get a good night's sleep, if you have trouble sleeping try deep breathing exercises when you go to bed. Try listening to delta wave music on the internet (works for me)

.....avoid inflammatory foods, sugars, fried foods, take aways

.....accept anxiety, you know you are healthy, your brain will play tricks on you

.....Don't Google your symptoms

.....Avoid caffeine, stimulants

.....Focus on now, not yesterday or tomorrow

Another thing I would be aware of is your posture. When texting hold your phone up rather than looking down.

If you have to look down tuck your chin in.

god i have the same exact thing its the lower part of my mid back but not quite lumbar . came on out of the ordinary, i move around fine but its a deep ache and its episodic and sometimes it goes away for a day or two. When i lay down it usually goes away within a half hour and i sleep fine . Doc says its a muscle spasm but i dont believe it lol , But has anyone else had this?
