chest pain

[bgirl23]

I have had anxiety for so long I feel stupid asking this, but maybe it will make me feel a little better, I'm having chest pains with this bout of anxiety and of course the first thing I think of is a heart attack. If I can get myself to relax it seems to go away, is this normal?

this is definately normal i had it alot for awhile and then it just kinda went away i also have had anxiety for awhile but every new symptom usually freaks me out and i need reasurancce to dont ever think any question is stupid i ask the same things over and over again it just makes you feel better. alot of the time what helped me was just doin my best not to think about the pains i know that its difficult but seemed to work for me and just tell yourself over and over again that it is just anxiety and you will end up focusing on that so much you will forget about the pains, hope this helps and im here if ya need me peace - Caseman
