The more you focus on things the worse they get I find.

You know deep down you are ok and this was just a stress - I did reply to your other post about it as well.

You need distraction and/or relaxation and it will soon calm down

Sorry - I just saw that you did reply to my reply to your other post lol

When we are on edge we get stressed and muscles get tense so I am sure that is all this is

Thank you nicola. Im feeling a bit calmer now so hopefully ill get some sleep tonite. Im waiting for a stress test appointment so hopefully wen that done i wont automatically think every chest pain is heart related and ill learn to accept its anxiety ( which sucks) . Im still fighting the urge to go to a&e though:)

A&E is not the place to do the relevant tests trust me.

You need to see the doc and get referred if they think it is necessary
