Chest muscles anxiety....

[kitkat96]

Ok, so I'm panicking a little bit over the muscles in between my ribs, sorta where my diaphragm is....it's tense and hurts to press it, and I'm afraid I'll suffocate or choke or something....
I know it's really silly, and it's just an anxiety effect, but I'm still not convinced :wacko:

Have you got anything warm to place on it? I get a lot of upper body tension and I always find something warm like a bath relieves all the little aches, you could also try a little massage, but you said it hurts to put pressure on it so I would just go with a warm water bottle or something :)

Hi Luna,
No, I don't have anything warm....I might go and try to find a water bottle or something :)

If it helps to know you're not alone, my ribs have been hurting for about 6 months. On my right side. Every single day. I guess its tension like yours. I hope so anyway.
I haven't suffocated from it yet :)
