What Does Chest Pain With With Pressure & Anxiety Suggest?
Hello, i am A 22 yr female and i have been experiencing some uncomforting chest pain on my left side. Sometimes its really sharp pains that shoot throughout my left side of my chest and sometimes all the way through my left arm but mostly its just an uncomfortable tight. Sort of pressure. This usually happens at night while i an relaxing. I do suffer from anxiety attacks and my question is can anxiety cause chest pains or does this sound more serious.. also i have tried tums and inositol for the anxiety but this doesn't seem to work

Hi I can understand your question...
Yes you are right.
Anxiety induce panic attack can lead sweating , chest pain. And dyspnea also...
So try to avoid stress.
Regular exercise and yoga done which help in relieving anxiety...
If needed consult psychologist for it...
If still problem ECG or chest x ray done for further work up to rule out respiratory or cardiac cause.....
If you have regular acidity problem or ulcer then reffered chest pain can occur.
I hope your concern solved..
Take care.
