Chest and throat symptoms are very common with anxiety and can feel very scary.

I know it is really hard but try something distracting and try not to focus on it........maybe a soak in the bath will help to relax you and your muscles.

Absolutley familiar. Also nothing to worry about (easier said than done I know) It is amazing what anxiety can do to us! Whenever I have a panic attack I feel like I am about to die, I think it is part and parcel of this terrible thing we call panic. Have a read on the home page of this site of all the symptoms anxiety can cause and try to realize that, while they are so, so terrible, they are not dangerous.

Your anxiety is the human representation of the pictures that you paint using your many vivid colours of revolving and reoccurring thoughts.
