Hi for the past 2 weeks i have had a dull ache in the center of my chest which has been coming and going its not really really bad about a 3 out of 10. I have had this pain before when i was younger( im 22 now )and went to the doctors and they said it was indigestion so i stopped worrying and thinking about it and it went away for years and i didnt have the pain at all .it was Boxing day when the came back and i had eaten quite a bit several hours before the pain came And i completely freak myself out and always think the worse . The pain has gone away when taking painkillers and also if i distract myself i dont have the pain but as soon as i think about it the pain comes back !! and the worrying starts all over again . I have also had pain in my left arm on and off not at the same time as the chest pain , my arm is sore touch so im wondering if its muscualr which is quite possible ,But also because i have been feeling so worried about this pain i have felt really tense so could that also be causing the pain ? feel absoultley fine apart from the dull pain i have been out walking and running with the dogs and stuff without the pain so im not sure what to think it is :( i am soo stressed out at the minute with problems with my sister , money problems and setting up my own buinsess ! i was diagnosed with IBS 4 days before I got this chest pain when I was getting my ibs stomach pain I was convinced I had appendicitis and was worrying for weeks before hand ! Sd now i know what it is i havent had the pain at all since ! And this is exactly what I'm doing with my chest constantly worrying about it and no doubt making it worse !! But I just can't help myself it's really getting me down I just feel like crying with all this anxiety :( if I distract my self and there Is no pain I feel great !! Please someone tell me of this sounds more like anxiety or heart attack ? I am going to go to the doctors !
