just curious, sometimes I have some very short pain in my lower chest usually with burping, which makes me even more anxious and scared. Is there any way to reassure yourself it's is just anxiety?
:shock:

Hi Motif, it does sound anxiety since anxiety can really do funny things to your body. But the best way to rule anything out is to see a doc if you are really concerned about it! I don't want to scare you, but in the past I have had physical symptoms and worried and worried about them. I went to the doc and got a few tests done, everything was normal, so I chalked it up to be anxiety.

So go with how you feel. If you are REALLY REALLY worrying, go see a doc.
