Chest Pain and anxiety?

[FunnyHam]

I feel this tightness and pain in my chest and it coincides with whenever I am dealing with anxiety and negative thoughts and makes me start daydreaming of ctb. Has anyone else gotten this medically checked out? It scares me whenever I get it because i literally feel dead and filled with all this dread. Should i get an MRI or CT scan, is this something in my brain chemistry? Also I get the sensation that my head is spinning and that I can't breathe, and can't focus. Would love to know, thanks.

I mean, chest pain and tightness is one of the most common symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks. The head spinning, can't breathe, and can't focus also are common side effects of panic attacks. I've suffered from them for years.
I would suggest going to your doctor and explaining it, and telling them it coincides with your anxiety, and let them decide if you should get any test done.
Hopefully, if it is something anxiety related, they can give you something to help you
Also, with me, thoes physical symptoms of anxiety like chest pain and tingling hands would make my anxiety worse, just creating this anxiety feedback loop. Was not fun, do not recommend

It's anxiety. Yesterday it felt like I was having a heart attack and was going to faint, turns out it was a severe panic attack. Not had one that bad in a long time

You could see your GP to get something for anxiety to help

I've gotten medically checked out for chest pain related to anxiety. Nothing will come up if there isn't a physical health issue. I would talk to your provider about panic disorder. They will likely prescribe a fast acting anxiety medication like hydroxyzine. I found all the chest pain related specifically to my anxiety went away once I was able to manage my panic attacks
