anxiety chest pain

[ladymama]

Can anybody explain anxiety chest pain to me, I understand that my muscles are tense but why do I feel 'bruised' and have throbbing pain and I also feel 'cheasty' like I have a cough, these symptoms happen a lot, Doctor says there is nothing wrong with me just anxiety, 'just' easy for him to say, would really help a lot if someone could give me a bit of insight

i also get really bad chest pains and they move all around the rib cage. when i touch the pain it hurts more. my pains move from my rib cage and into my arms. my GP says to take paracetemol which i do and this seems to help a little.

My pains don't hurt really when I touch them is it still my muscles??

i suffer a lot of chest pain,,its mainly stress,,what i find eases it,,is to stretch my arms over my head,,go on do it,,dont hurry it ,,its as if your stretching when you first wake,,it loosens the muscles we tense while over breathing or clenching because tense. hope this helps

The chest pain we experience during panic is muscle contractions in the chest wall and also tension , this is what causes the pain and tightness and general discomfort. Just know it won't harm you and it will go away

Thanks, the strecthing did help as did the paracetamol, just hate the feeling. I do end up concentrating on my breathing to much which is a nightmare, I feel like I have to take the deepest breath all the time, I've tried breathing exercises but this seems to make me worse

I think so, mine never used to hurt when I touched it

I do get chest pain and it seems to go right around to my back
