hi there , just new to this and found your posting , i too have been suffering with chest pains for few weeks ,also had numb left arm for months before the chest pains but convince myself that its linked now , think this is what is causing most of my anxiety , i also work at the emergency out of hours drs and we have protocols that if a patient rings complaining of chest pain we have to ring 999 so this doesn't help me one bit !!! seen my dr loads lately because of it had 3x ecg in last 3 weeks and chest x-ray all normal so why do i still feel so anxious about it ,
dr in a&e told me it was due to anxiety or just muscular , so i should be able to stop worrying now ??
