i get it all the time. left side, above my breast on my breast and below. i always think its my heart. had an echo and ekg that were normal so im told its anxiety. it *****!!!!!!
Breast pain is different from breast pain, and I'm not sure which you mean. Breast pain is female related and could be caused by a whole set of other issues. Chest pain can be from anxiety and can often feel like you're having a "heart attack" in that you can become short of breath, or feel like you can't take a deep breath, and feel pressure. If it occurs at the same time every night, that seems like it's more related to anxiety, and has nothing to do with your heart, as heart issues would most likely not occur at the same time all the time. If this problem is really bothering you, I do suggest you see a doctor, and hopefully he/she can guide you into treatment options such as therapy, medications, etc. In the meantime, deep breathing and relaxation exercises might help. Breathing in through your nose and slowly out through your mouth and counting your breaths might help if it's anxiety. You could also try journaling when this occurs. Whatever works for you, I hope you find releif soon. I send good luck and the best of wishes. Take care of yourself!
