View Full Version : Chest aches
Can anyone explain why anxiety causes chest pains / aches
Stress = tension = muscle tightening/spasms = more worry = more tension + stomach issues like reflux/gerd = pain = more stress etc. etc. etc.

I replied to your other thread about all the testing etc. I actually have heart disease, had two heart attacks, triple bypass, stents and suffer from angina. You've had more tests in two weeks than I've had in the last 5 years! AND... I'm sitting here right now with annoying niggly stabbing like chest pains which I know are benign. I'm not freaking out at all. I took some ibuprofen and a xanax because I know it's stress related due to the issues with my wife's illness.
So logically, what is the answer to your question? You answer and if the answer is as I expect it to be, it's time to move on from this irrational fear and seek help for your anxiety.
