I’ve had a few panic attacks recently, all because of health anxiety (I keep thinking there’s something wrong with my heart which panic symptoms are NOT helping with). The last one was almost a week ago and since then I’ve had a soreness in my chest on the left side. It’s pretty much constant, with the occasional stabbing pain. It feels muscular, and I know logically it probably is, especially since I feel it most when I move around or breathe in deeply, but I can’t help but think that the pain is confirming my fears that there’s something wrong with me.
Basically, it is normal to feel pain like this after a panic attack? I always get very tense and shaky during one so it makes sense but it would help to know if this has happened to anyone else.
