What Causes Chest Discomfort While Suffering From Anxiety And Depression?

Hi for a couple months now ive had this feeling like my chest is caving in. It doesnt hurt burn or anything it is just very uncomfortable. When i wear a bra and lay on my back it gets even more worse. Im a 23 year old female. I have premature ovarian failure and also have anxiety and depression, i dont know if that makes a difference.

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have chest discomfort while suffering from anxiety and depression. Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to certain reasons like acid reflux , angina which is rare chance at your age , chest infection , anxiety and stress . I would suggest you to consult psychiatrist for proper examination . Doctor will take history . Doctor may recommend therapy to reduce the stress or may prescribe antidepressants along with sedatives . For now eat light and non spicy , eat small and frequent meal and do mind relaxing exercises like meditation .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
