Hi Louise
More than likely just anxiety playing its tricks on you. I too had a tooth extracted on Tuesday and my anxiety has been haunting me since. I do get chest pains, usually sharp shooting pains when my anxiety is bad and I have to convince myself that it is just anxiety. If I let it get the better of me and it turns into a panic attack then I get the tight chest and shortness of breath.

Have you had chest pain before with anxiety? If so, then that's more than likely all it is. If not and you are worried about it probably wouldn't hurt to get it checked out.

Take care
Ange
