Chest pain and anxiety ?
ByI had tests done 6 months ago for my heart (stress test and scan of the heart) both were normal
I have anxiety and i got chest pains a few days ago and they are not going away. i went to the doctors yesterday and he listened to my heart and said i was ok. i got an ecg done today and it picked up irregularities which i had gotten before and all tests came back ok
The pains are in the center of my chest and fade off and come back
The doc said yesterday that i didnt need to get the ecg done for a week or two so he was not worried at all so i dont know if im just anxious and worried over nothing
Chest pain is quite a common symptom of anxiety. Unfortunately, many anxiety sufferers aren’t aware of this, and the thought that they might be having a heart attack only makes their anxiety worse.
Since you’ve been checked out, I really doubt that there is anything wrong. Try not to worry. What are you doing to deal with yout anxiety? If you can get that under control, then your chest pains will probably clear up too. You could try seeing a counselor, if you aren’t already, or try something alternative, like hypnotherapy. Make sure you’re getting regular excercise and sleeping well, too.
Good luck.

Sounds like a anxiety or a panic attack you are experiencing. If a ECG comes up clear then i really wouldnt worry

I have panic attacks with chest pains you actually think your having a heart attack it can be very scary. I ended up in the ER just to be told it was panic attack. I suggest you tell your Dr your concern and ask if if you not already done so about a anxiety medication. Also you may look up online different relaxing methods.

My friend years ago went through this on and off for almost 2 years…he would hyperventilate and always feel he was having a heart attack…going to the ER and back forth to his doctor…it was anxiety and you can bring it on…I bet your sleep pattern is off or it was sketchy recently…he was a workaholic . You need to find some your time and get enough sleep…sleep deprivation brings on mental illness that over time can become debilitating ….they gave him some med’s that start with a an E…ex-something..this was 6 years ago..I can’t recall..but he is doing exceptional once he got his priorities straight

I have also suffered with chest pain that lasted about 3 days, I could hardly move my body without it sending pains through me. I put it down to stress. Also I get chest pains when I take hay fever tablets sometimes I take 2 though the day rather than the 1 a day and that has casued me to suffer chest pains.
You are best speaking to your doc about any stress related issues, panic attacks and anxiety can be very scary the doc will be able to recomend anything or even prescribe something if its that bad.
Anyway hope you everything gets sorted

spiritual healing and reiki can help you with this
Do read this very carefully and try and understand the principles behind what is being said
This will help you vastly and educate you on our health care system and its dire limitations
All treatment recommended by the doctors should be tested and approved and quite rightly so.
That makes sense right Obviously it costs vast sums of money to test and approve treatments because of the possible damage to people and the subsequent litigation costing millions of pounds.
Drug companies Fund most research and will only and I mean only look at treatments, which show the promise of good deal of a profit, –they will actively dismiss any therapy which does not have profit potential— thus your doctor will only recommend therapies with profit in them.
Despite The fact that some of these other therapies mentioned below do have overwhelming benefits some, which have saved needless operations, needless amputations, needless pain and trauma, needless kidney failures and much loss of life. Drugs are not the answer for depression with mind altering chemicals or any other mental illness. This is a fundamental principle and unless you grasp this fully –you could /will have years of suffering ahead of you .
This does not help you though when you are ill and suffering—not hearing about therapies which can help from a person you look up to and trust Have you heard your local doctor recommend, Massage Spiritual healing, Herbs, Light therapy,Colour therapy,the violet ray therapy, Osteopathy,Magnetic devices, Electrical Frequency devices.
Testimonies
Spiritual healing ,Seichim and Reiki healing
When People speak about their condition and tell of the benefits which they have found by employing the treatments one can only feel humbled .These are just a few of the many thousands of comments which have been made .Sometimes the therapies have been literally a life saver bringing people back from the point of death, sometimes out of a life of years of misery and suffering, they are all interesting reading.

Harry Edwards recalled the case of a young man who, accompanied by a lady, was brought to me for healing. He was in great pain and eaten-up with arthritis. As the healing proceeded, so his pains left him, and his joints began to loosen and become free. When I had finished treating him, it was a real delight to see how wonderfully glad he was to be able to use his legs, feet, arms and hands again… and then he told me: "When I came here, I was convinced no one could help me, and I came only to please my Aunt, who brought me."
You worked a miracle with his father when he was very ill 1983-84 when I wrote to you, but you will be pleased to know he is now working for the Council and lives a fairly normal life.
I’s report is complete - he is 100% fit and will have no trouble in resuming his sporting activities -considering the first reports, this is a miracle. I do not know how I would have managed without your wonderful help.
You and the late Harry Edwards helped me so often and indeed I am still pressing on 18 years after I was expected to die from my last bout of cancer.
I wrote to ask for healing for my sister who was to undergo an operation for aneurysm in the aorta. Her operation was very successful. After 1 day in intensive care and 2 days in progressive care she was back in her own room and has done extremely well. She was allowed home after 7 days when she had been told to expect to be in hospital for 10 to 15 days. Everyone was amazed at her recovery and the surgeon told her she had been a perfect patient. I feel sure the absent healing and our prayers were to a great extent responsible for this wonderful recovery and I thank you most sincerely for your help.
I thought perhaps you would like to have a record of the people you have helped during the time I have been sending reports. M.L. -angina, complete recovery. D. L. -duodenal ulcer, complete healing. B.L. - Angina, complete recovery. P.D. - Leukaemia - apparent full recovery.
On behalf of my mother, daughter and myself may I thank you for the lovely day at your Sanctuary last Tuesday. My mother is so much better it is truly amazing. She can stretch out her arms and even raise them to her head and her walking is much stronger. My daughter was very impressed, too. 1141/6
My condition improved in as much as I now have much more self-confidence and ability to deal with my everyday life. 1145/6
G.S. Good news. Up until recently he had to be helped to get into and out of his car. It is adapted to enable a disabled person to drive, The other day he got into his car entirely on his own and drove some 12 miles to a nearby town. Got out on his own and went into a shop to make a purchase. No wheelchair anymore! 1142/6
You both, along with our friends in Spirit, have been directing healing for our daughter who, as I told you, has been given a full bill of hea
