could my chest pain be muscular?

[eddy1608]

ive had this for a year now i ve had 3 ekgs and bloodwork and numerous trips to the a and e and the doctors each time theyve said anixiety and muscle pain. the other day i stood in between my two work tops and help my weight then lowered my body towards the floor and felt a tight pain in my chest and when i stopped it went away, i have a very weak chest i can barley hold my weight after i done that my chest felt really tight i stretched and the same pain was there for maybe 3 seconds then it went away and sometimes there is a pop or cracking sound as i stretch. i always fear there is something wrong with my heart but ive been starting to lift weights a lot lately and dont get any pain when i do that or use my punch bag its just when my chest is holding my weight i get the worse pain. it does sound muscular but being a health anxiety sufferer i always think the worst.
just looking for opinions really, i am 24 aswell no history of heart issues in my family
cheers guys

Hi eddy,


Yes sounds very much like my life story and the answer to your question is YES sounds very muscular related to me.

I suffer from costochondritis and the pain and the sensations your have explained are similar to mine..

You have summend me up very well.. I have also been a&e a few times via 999 and have had loads of tests over a few years and with having health anxiety and panic disorder it is hard to believe that nothing serious is wrong. But I have now so far for over 8 months I have not been seeing the doctor ever week or so (I maybe see them every month or so now) and I don't mention my heart anymore as I know it does me no good to keep harping on about it.

I have to focus my mind else where other than what if and do I have..

And so far it is working I still get pain and chest sensations
