I use to get chest pains all the time, and none of it had to do with my heart. I ended up seeing tons of doctors, had chest xrays, ekgs and shit. But none of them thought of it being "anxiety" until months later. Got some meds for panic attack and stuff and I guess they've helped cause I havn't had much chest pains anymore.

(I seriously use to think I was having a heart attack when I was 13)
But then again, haha I'd never believe them either when they told me I was fine.

MANY things can cause heart/chest pains, with anxiety I always thought I was in my final hour.

Anxiety, depression, or panic attacks: Panic attacks may cause chest pain that feels like you have a serious health problem, even though it is not life threatening. Hyperventilation (breathing too fast) can also cause bad chest pain. People who have depression (feeling sad most or all of the time) may have chest pain or heaviness.

Lung problems: Examples include infections (such as bronchitis), or inflammation (swelling) in or around a lung. A blood clot in a lung or lung diseases may cause chest pain. Breathing in smoke or fumes can cause chest pain.

Digestive tract problems: Acid reflux, ulcers, or other stomach and esophagus (food pipe) problems may cause chest pain. Problems with too much gas in your stomach or intestines, or other digestion problems may cause chest pain. Gallbladder or pancreas problems may also cause chest pain.

What are signs that my chest pain may be serious? It is often hard to tell what is causing your chest pain. Even caregivers may have trouble finding the cause without doing tests. Chest pain may sometimes be caused by life threatening health problems.

Never try to drive yourself to the hospital if you have signs of a serious health problem. Call 9-1-1 or 0 for an ambulance right away if you have chest pain with any of the following symptoms:


Any new chest pain that is severe, or that lasts for 15 minutes or longer.


Feeling lightheaded, dizzy, weak, or faint.


Sudden sweating for no reason that you know of.


Nausea or vomiting.


New or worsening trouble breathing.


New or worsening trouble with thinking clearly or speaking.


Any new numbness, tingling, or loss of movement in any part of your body.


Coughing up blood.

Yea thats some info I got for you. GL
