Re: Had a panic attack and still feeling physical symptoms in my chest days later.
Omg yes! The left over tension from a panic attack or high state of stress can stay in my chest and especially my upper back for days or even weeks. It can be sore to move, lie down, touch etc. I know how scary it can feel but the more you focus on it, the more tension you will add and the longer it will stay. Easier said than done, I know. I always find a bath and then pain numbing gel used for sprains helps me.
