I’m 14 years old and i struggle with this too. Getting more anxious sets up more inflammation and so on. Anxiety can exacerbate all the chest pain spectrum. If you do have costochondritis and do not know what has caused the pain it would be helpful to find out. However I am not a doctor so it would be best if you got this checked. Nothing really wrong except trying to stop coughing. Someone spotted me leave and came after me very concerned. Eventually I went outside so I would not disturb others listening to the sermon. I started coughing in church one Sunday because I had a throat tickle which would not go away. I found if I coughed a lot there was a chance my ribcage and sternum would start to hurt. The doctors really concentrate on the most serious potential condition. I thought it was a heart problem at first and had probably the same tests as you and everyone who has posted here. Unfortunately I cannot take anti-inflammatory meds and need to rely on other pain relief. I have had it a couple of times and it can be uncomfortable. If this has not been checked out it would be good to see your GP. "The inflammation may have been brought on by a blow to the chest, lifting heavy objects, intense exercise, orĪn illness that made you cough and sneeze a lot. Doesn't last long but may return depending on what you are doing. It is an inflammatory condition and usually treated with anti-inflammatory medication. May be a good idea to sleep propped up a little. Can be worse at night when you are lying down. Gets more painful if you take deep breaths. When you were getting checked out for heart problems did anyone mention costochondritis? It causes pain in the chest where the sternum meets the ribs although it can affect other ribs as well. It's great you have found your way here where lots of people have similar difficulties and can talk about them. This feels like a constant stabbing pain. I definitely over worry about my health but this chest pain in particular I just wonder if it can be cause by anxiety even though I'm not having a panic attack.Īlso I know the chest pain isn't heart burn since I grew up with heart burn and it is a totally different feeling. I'm not obese and blood tests and vitamins are good as well.
I'm only 26 years old and I have smoked but only for about 6 months 2 years ago.ĭoctors always tell me it's unlikely to be anything wrong with my heart at my age. I've had several ecg's this year which came normal but can't help but think maybe the problem just isn't happening when I'm having the ecg. The other thing is this chest pain I've been getting lately is located where my heart is while years ago when I would get chest pain during panic attacks it was located on the top left of my chest further away from the heart. Can anxiety cause chest pain though even though I'm not hyperventilating or having a panic attack. Just this week I've started to get facial twitches as well. For the last 3 months I've been getting chest pain and my anxiety has been getting worse. I took an SSRI for 4 years and then stopped last year. I had my heart checked everything was normal and I was diagnosed with anxiety. If you think you may have a medical emergency, call your physician or 911 immediately.So I was wondering if anxiety can cause chest pain without having had a panic attack?ĥ years ago I used to have chest pain and always be anxious about my health.
