    Chest pain is a pain!!!!

    Hi, I'm Ju & i'm getting rather fed up with Doctors not taking me seriously.

    I have apparently been having panic attacks since last Xmas, they sound the same as what i have been reading but,

    i have a constant tightness in the middle of my chect & it hurts, it doesn't go away ever. It is that depressing now that i have to ask for some help from anyone out there as the Doctors will just not help.

    I have not been to work this week as i feel that i cannot breathe, i can of course & i know this but it hurts & it is now so annoying that i would rather take sleeping tablets every day & sleep all day so i don't have to put up with this pain.

    I have tried exercise, different movements & breathing exercises, you name it i've tried it, but hte paid is now to much, i have no life now so i really don't see the point.

    I am now on anti depressants & Propanalol, neither of which are doing anything to help.

    Does anyone now of anything that can get rid of this pain?

    Please help as i am losing the will to live!

    Thank you

    Ju.

    Have you tried massage and relaxation, even though relaxing is hard when we are anxious I find it is one of the best ways to release tension in your muscles.
    A nice warm bath with lavender oil and a candle burning always helps me.
    Hope this helps.
    By the way welcome to the forum, you'll get loads of help and support here.

    Take care

    Hiya
    Ive had the same symptoms
    Its the chest musles tightening due to the panic symptoms, if you try to breath from your stomach rather that your chest it helps a great deal

    Hi Ju, welcome to the forum, you will get lots of help, I suffered very similar symptoms and I was convinced I had a heart problem, so much so I ended up in casualty for the first time in my life!
    I could not believe it was panic, I even had a 24hr heart recording which showed my heart was too fast but was beating strongly and rhythimacally(cant spell that!), anyway to cut a long story short I accepted it, very difficult and not sure how I did it, just seemed to become part of everyday living and was the norm, I dont notice it much now, but on occassions I do,it is still there, I did lots of relaxation tapes, breathing etc which Im convinced helped, hope you find some good answers, stay strong,x
