Help i'm getting worried

[cheesy pete]

Can anyone help? Keep getting pressure, band like sensation around my ribs at the back and sides. Is this a normal sign of anxiety? Keep getting worried that it is something worse or more sinister. Has this happened to anyone else?

Sounds exactly like anxiety!!! If its something sinister it would happen all the time- it would be consistent. When your mind is not worrying do you feel it? If not its likely to be anxiety. I always say, "wait and see." it usually goes away when you're bored of worrying about it.

You are right, it does go away when I don't think about it and when I'm busy with the kids but it's trying to stop it coming back that I have a problem with. Always end up in a situation thinking that it's going to happen again and sure enough it does. Really not sure how to break the cycle??
