Suggest Treatment For Anxiety And Chest Pain

Hello. I m David. A 22 year old male. Lately I ve been feel extremely unwell. I suffer from high anxiety already. I ve been getting these minor shooting pains around my chest area, nothing too bothersome but I ve been getting worried lately as I ve begun to feel a popping sensation below my left rib when I press in on it. Like a rib popping back and forward into place is the best way to describe it. My stomach has been in a lot of discomfort and constantly growls, almost all day. My apitite has been fine but my stools have been a bit lumpy and inconsistent. I don t understand what s going on. I would love some help. Thank you.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. You are aware of your anxiety disorder. Anxiety disorder is known to produce weird symptoms which do not have any pathological backing. The chest pain is stress and anxiety related. Rib problem you are mentioning here could be due to obsession, you just feel it, it is not actually happening. Anxiety and stress always trigger acidity and that could be reason for your stomach problems. I sincerely suggest for rigorous exercise for 15 days, keep yourself busy and engage in activities and games. In any case you should consult a psychologist.

If you still need my assistance in this regard, please use this link. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Please remember to describe the whole problem with full detail.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
