Feel Anxiety In My Chest
Should I go to the dr. for these chest pains? I have a feeling it’s anxiety..?
For the past 3-4 months i have been having chest pains. they are always in the same spot, which is underneath/behind my left breast, towards the center of my chest. so i am assuming that the pains are coming from my heart.
i thought it could be pleurisy, but everything i found online says that pleurisy goes away on its own, and within a few weeks.
the pain randomly comes, no matter what i’m doing. i do not think it is associated with strenuous activity or exercise, or breathing, eating, etc. it just comes randomly.
it is almost like a sharp, piercing pain. my chest feels tight but only in that area. it sort of comes in pulses that last about 3-5 seconds each.
it happens virtually every day and can last anywhere from 1-30 minutes.
my friend told me it sounds like anxiety attacks that she used to have, but the pains come even when i have no reason to be anxious or nervous…
should i go to the doctor? what could this be?
I had the same pains and later found out it was asthma. I’d never had big problems with breathing or shortness of breath and never realized that it was an asthma attack. The pain is probably your bronchial tubes constricting. I’d had it for years and never suspected it because I didn’t really know anything about asthma.
Other little things that might indicate asthma – coughing at night, clearing your throat or a single cough with no other symptoms.
You should see your Dr.
