Is Chest Pain While Bending Down A Symptom Of Anxiety?
My opinion is that this is just anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hello. Thank you for your question and welcome to HCM. I carefully read your query.
The facts, as they stand, are that you are of female sex and 31 years of age. These are two very important protecting facts, regarding heart diseases. In addition to this, you recently (in less than 2 years) had a normal EKG and echo cardiogram.
Chest pain originated from the heart, is called angina and it comes from blockages situated within the coronary arteries (vessels that encompass the heart as a crown - hence the name in latin - which supply the heart with oxygen and other nutrients. This kind of pain - angina - is not generated during rest and is not originated or changed in character/intensity during changes in position or breathing cycle. Everyone may experience discomfort in the chest while exercising or changing position, due to changes within the ribcage pressure, even myself. These often come as stabbing, tingling pain that comes and goes or lasts for a few seconds. Some people, including you, translate this pain into a sense of fear (anxiety) to "is this happening to me?" "what is happening to me?" "is my heart doing this to me?".
I would reassure you that, with the facts you provided, there is nothing to worry about and I would encourage you to continue with your physical activity. If something would be wrong now, it would have been shown on your previous exams you underwent.
I hope this is helpful. Feel free to ask follow-up questions, as I would be happy to help.
My kindest regards,
Dr. Meriton
