What Causes Sharp Pain In Chest And Anxiety?
I use to have heart palpitations, for many years. Have alot of test done and all came back to stress/anxiety. I was a smoker. I quit smoking 6 months ago and the palpitations went away 90% very happy about that!! The past few days I have been getting sharper paint mid chest, left and right of chest. Mostly mid chest and left around heart area. Also I'm constantly getting a warm sensation. Mid chest. I'm thinking since I have anxiety before, maybe this has something to do with it? I had a heart stress test done 4 or 5 years ago and everything was fine. Seems the more I think about it, the worse it gets. I just don't like this warm sensation in my chest and the sharp pains
