Chest pain is very common with anxiety. Have you been diagnosed with anxiety atall?

Hi there,
sorry you are feeling so bad right now, but i think you have had a bit of a rough time recently what with mum being ill and losing dad! Of course, now you have these chest symptoms you will think that you are going to have a stroke/heart attack, you have been tested for them, so please try to feel re-assured, as for the liver tests, am no expert, but whatever is discovered can and will be treated. Try, as hard as it is, not to be frightened, chest pain is a very common symptom with anxiety, once the fear subsides, so will the pain, take things easy, take care of mum and keep in touch x

HI there

welcome to the site, what you describe is a classic anxiety symptom, chest pain of this nature of mimics serious illness, when infact it is probably the chest muscles tensing up in response to the anxiety. My mum had exactly the same problem she is 64 and was convinced she had angina, like you she had all the tests done and it turned out to be anxiety related.

You are also very young to be suffering from any heart related illness which is good, hope you soon feel better there isloads of info here on the site

Take care Ruthxx
