hi jeni im sire its not your heart i been feeling light headed , breathless etc all day im sure anxiety is making it worse its easier said than done to calm down but if you can try maybe that will help hope you feel better very soon xxxxx

go to a&e to get it checked out, thats what their there for, sounds like its a panic attack.

It really does sound like a panic attack. I have had sharp stabbing pains under my left breast and shooting pains up my arm. I am sure on one of the pages it is all fully explained as something to do with the nerves and also the muscles tighten up due to the anxiety and hence all the pain. As someone once said to me, distract yourself for 10 mins and then reassess the pain. If they go whilst you are distracted then it is anxiety.
