The symptoms of anxiety attack will positively respond to anxiety-control techniques, like deep breathing and relaxation exercises. Here is one powerful technique to stop chest pain in a few seconds. It is best done sitting but can also be done standing or lying down:

1. Sit with your back straight and your hands in your lap or on your thighs. Close your eyes. While doing this keep the tip of your tongue touching the top of your mouth. When you inhale – do it through your nose. Exhale through your mouth. Ready?

2. Start inhaling slowly for 4 seconds (count them in your head not out loud). Push out your stomach and fill your lower lungs first like that. Then the rest of the lungs are filled.

Hold your breath for until you count to 7.

Exhale comfortably for 8 seconds. Try to imagine that all the anxiety is leaving your body while you are exhaling. You are letting it go.

Pause for 2 seconds without inhaling (very important) and do this one more time.

Repeat until you feel your chest pain gone. And it will be.



I have tried this, it works pretty well.. It works so well that I was surprised.. I have GERD (so i've been told) so i popped a tum and started breathing.. Chest pain was gone in a few minutes.. Great technique right there.

A way to give you insurance that you're not having a heart attack, when you feel pain, put both hands over the top of your chest.. and push down. if you feel more pressure/pain, you're not dying.
