Well the chest pain/pressure is back again! I'm not sure if anybody remembers but last year around October my aunt died and a week later I started getting bad chest pain and pressure  for the next 2 months. I then at the time kept writing post about what I was going through. Now since 2 family members died in the last few weeks the pain/pressure is back.. I'm not sure if it's the heart or what!!! I've had so many EKG blood test chest X-rays done all have came out fine. I'm hoping this is maybe stress? Because it doesn't  get this bad until somebody dies in my family...

hey embrace i remember when all that was going on with you because i was going thru the same thing. actually going thru the chest pain thing again. but yay lucky me i also have these mini headaches on diff parts of my head that are freaking me out. i think that the chest pains are ur anxiety. hopefully they will go away quickly. take care

Yes, you can become hyperaware of your heart beating. Sometimes it's pounding even though the pulse rate is normal. Just have to get through it somehow, eventually it will get better.

Thanks for ya comment. Is it just me or who ever has heart/health anxiety is it just me or can you damn bear feel your heart beating any where even if it's just beating regular .. As I sit here I can feel my heart  beating through my chest and it's beating at normal pace. Idk if I'm so so scared I have a heart problem that I feel every heart beat I even feel it in my back when I lay down at night

Chest pain/pressure is VERY common with anxiety. I have it too as we speak. :) Mine comes and goes. My shoulders and neck are tense, that EVERYTHING is connected, so it can wrap around even into your chest.

HOWEVER, I have had it where JUST my chest hurts. And I have luckily never been one to stress out over my heart b/c I know rationally I'm in good physical shape etc. I'm sure you are too. :)

How you can tell if it's muscle, is if the pain is centrally located in between your 2 breast plates. It feels like bone, but there are actual muscle/tendon fibers all up in there and they can spasm etc. causing chest tightness feeling etc.

You can sometimes push in there and feel it, but a lot of times you won't feel any pain.

It's VERY common with stress and anxiety. Probably the most common symptom. :)

THIS TOO SHALL PASS. :)
