I have been having chest pain for about 4 months now. Ive been checked by the doctor 2 times... Both of which say that I am okay. Blood pressure is fine, urine, and blood itself. Just now I have had 3 sudden really sharp chest pains. They hurt soo bad. My doctor thinks that it is heart burn and that I should take zantac 150 but now I dunno. Any suggestions/answers? Also I am 15, I weigh 187 lbs and am 5,11. My doctor says I am just a little overweight for my age and size.

i've been having some chest pain for about an hour after i get a shower a settle down before bed. it's not unbareable pain but i have it frequently. i had an ekg test and a ultra sound thing of my heart about 5 months ago and nothing showed up. should i go back to the doctor or is this fine?

I have been getting pain in the left side under and on the side of my breast. I have also been getting a burning feeling in my back andsometimes it shoots down to my arm. It doesn't last, though. It's usualy just a quick burning sensation. However, the pain is getting to me since my mother just had a heart attack and has CAD at 46. I know none of you can diagnose or tell me what is wrong. But if anyone knows the symptoms of a heart attack, does my chest pain sound at all like a heart related pain?

I've been to the doctor for chest pain but I am okay. I have anxiety but sometimes I still get pressure/pain in my chest. Everything I read about chest pain from anxiety talks only about panic attacks but I was wondering if anxiety can cause general chest discomfort?

Well, several months ago I was having chest pains and after several tests (EKG, heart monitor and echogardiagram) the Drs told me all was ok and it was anxiety. I am pretty sure it was just anxiety since I never had any chest pains till I had an anxiety attack and the pains started 2 days after my first anxiety attack. After I found out the tests were all normal the pains got much better but later slowly started coming back and now I am having pain in my shoulder, ribs, up and down the upper arms (usually the left) and a "stabbing" pain in my back. None of these pains are bad pain but it just worries me, which could be the reason I have the pains in the first place. The Dr's haven't ran any more tests but assure me I am fine. How do I know If something really is wrong if anxiety is causing pains? I also don't want the Dr to dismiss my pain b/c they think Im a paranoid freak. Anyone have an opionion on this or went through something similar? I am 34. This has been going on for total of almost 2 years so I think If I was getting ready to have a heart attack I would have had one by now. I may get a stress test just to be sure. I have been put on meds but it didn't work well for me. I ended up on the couch all day every day and don't even want to get up to shower or brush my teeth. When I was on the couch for 5 days and didn't shower or brush my teeth for 3 days straight I went off the meds. (I know-gross huh? I just did not care at the time!)

i've been having dull chest aches the last two days. I don't know if it's psychosmatic or anxiety realated or if it's something to go to the doctor about. What do you think I should do? By the way I'm 22.

I know that chest pain is a common symptom with people who suffer from Anxiety but i want to try get down to the actual root of it as to why exactly Anxiety does cause chest pains? im asking cause i happen to be one of those people who do suffer from Anxiety & i get chest pains ALOT my chest feels like its tightening up or its like a pressure feeling along with the pain but im not qiet sure why the chest pains occur? so could someone please explain specifically why the chest come with Anxiety? Thank You.

I want to go to the gym, but i've been suffering from the tightness/pain in my chest and slight dizziness. Is it a bad idea to go gym like that?

I have chest discomfort on the left side of my chest, its not like a stabbing or sharp pain its more like a discomfort, can this be caused by stress/ anxiety, b/c i am in grade 12 and have 2 tests on wednesday.

i have really bad stress, and I've been having to take Xanax/klonopin to relieve even a minor bit. For me just sitting around and doing normal things cause me to stress. I turned twenty-one in September. I've been emotionally abused as a kid, and was never able to really -relax- ..acutally I don't even know how to do it. i've tried breathing exercises and those things. My family has no heart problems, or heart attacks of my mother or fathers side. I've had epilepsy in the past (stress induced). I've been to the ER a lot, and they told me things were fine with my heart, but is it really okay?? I mean through all the stress I get, them telling me my heart was fine,.. is it okay? I take vitamins Salmon Oil pills, Horse Tail pills, and vitamin A&D because they said my calicum was high in my blood. Also, when I get stressed out my hand will turn really cold, and purple looking.

Hi, I've had chest pains ever since last night. I can tell you that I have really BAD anxiety issues and alot of stress from a number of things. I'm thinking that might be it? I just had my first period about a week ago..if that helps at all (I'm 13) Thanks all!

I had a panic attack back in June Ever since I have been getting chest discomfort in the direct middle and as well to the left of the chest. I have had countless "ECG" done and the doctors keep telling me everything is fine. I have had irregular heart beat once in a while but it goes back to normal. I have asked some doctors why I am having this chest discomfort they said they don't know. Some guess it could be heart burn or gas. The chest discomfort is very hard to ignore and only rubbing my chest gives me temporary relief. It happens all day for months now and I want to stop rubbing my chest but I'm scared if I stop the discomfort will become more severe and and turn into a heart attack. Sometimes I get a striking pain in the chest and I go dizzy for a second. I wonder if this is my mind playing tricks on me or if it's just gas and if gas can do this to you?

When I speak, I suddenly experience my heart pumping fast, sweating, blockage below the chest area, pain in the head (feels like my head is being squeezed), nervousness, and anxiety. These sometimes inhibit the flow of my speech. I've heard of lemon balm, Centella Asiatica, and lavendar. Has anyone tried these?

any advice? I think i might have a panic disorder. I'm not rich and i don't have a job yet. I have no health insurance and would like to know home remedies. Thanks

For about 6 years now I've suffered off and on with anxiety/hypochondria. I'm only 20 years old. About 3 years ago I had some blood work done all came back perfectly fine and went to the dr with the random "chest pain" about 2 years ago, he said I was fine but I haven't felt fine at all. It seems as if the worry of these random diseases and major illnesses have gotten worse to the point of OCD where I can't stop thinking about it. I met with my doctor Monday and my blood pressure was high because I have a bad cold & also b/c I was so nervous but he said I definately have anxiety, and thats whats causing the symptoms like the racing heart, heart flutters, dizziness, etc... & because I worry about heart attacks, etc it worsens these symptoms. Does anyone know of any natural herb or remedy to help with this? I've been married for about a year and a half now & all I seem to do is complain about something hurting or being dizzy & it makes me feel almost to the point of depression at times. At times Im just scared its something serious and not anxiety but as my doctor said, Im 20 years old 125 pounds, and if something were seriously wrong it would've been picked up prior to now but I just can't seem to get that in my mind..

From April until now I have a sharp pain in my chest and short breath. I saw many doctors and they said it comes from stress. I don't know what happen for my body. I am so positive person and always I am so happy. I did Eco for my heart and also X-Ray for my chest. My doctor said there is not problem. I did blood test, everything is fine. I have still pain in my throat area. I don't know ;(

I have a cronhs disease,and due to medication i have a lot of secondary disease,not mention the ones that come with chrons disease(ostheoporosis,gerd.....etc Those pain chest are small heart attack?

anyone have any idea if its normal or what it could be. im 39 weeks pregnant. i've been to the hospital twice already, im only 1cm dilated. i wanna go backk but i dont wanna get sent home again, since i live an hour away.

i had a panick attack at college today due to a lot of stress, do you think i should go to college tomorrow?, because i dont want another panic attack tomorrow. any herbal remedies?

I have panic attacks very often. I have found that snapping a rubber band around my wrist helps ease them. I was wondering if anyone else had remedies of how they stop a panic attack from happening.

So i have suffered from anxiety for about 2 years. Mostly panic attacks every now and then, but mostly anxiety that I am going to have another panic attack. I have been on Celexa for about a year and everything is fine. I am slowly challenging myself to do things I reframed before I begain taking that anti-dep. Now I have gained weight, have no sexually appt., and basically just dont want to have to take these danm pills all my life. the problem is, whenever I try to go off of the, the anixety comes back. Anyone out these experience this, and if so, how do I over come it. Thank you very much!!

Can you have an anxiety attack, when you don't feel stressed, and actually feel elated? In my previous question some people mentioned that I could be experiencing an anxiety attack, since I just had a baby (4 months ago) and the stress that comes with that. I was walking with my daughter, I felt really good, healthy, happy, and really in the zone. I had stress all week, this was my relaxation time. So my question, can you experience an anxiety attack when you are really in a good mood? Any experiences??? If you have had one please describe in full detail. Thanks so much!

I sometimes get anxiety attacks, but today something happened for the first time. After the attack, I had an extremely dry dry dry mouth!! the anxiety attack, at least thats what i think it was....racing heart, shaky hands and legs, feeling like I was gonna pass out, die, have a heart attack, etc.....so the attack lasted long enough for me to run down 4 flights of stairs to my car....so do u think the dry mouth was caused by an anxiety attack? if so, why does this happen??

I was wondering if I have the symptoms of an anxiety attack? I've been really stressed out lately but I've never experienced this before, and it's happened in the middle of Crate&Barrel without notice and other places as well. Symptoms: I felt almost apathetic, and I got light headed almost sedate when walking around the store, and when my husband asked me which item I wanted to buy I got shooting pains up my left side of my torso, up my neck, and my breathing became restricted. I sat down, and took deep breaths, but I felt almost zero emotion at that point for what was being said.

I'm just curious because I've had a lot of panic and anxiety attacks and just noticed that my finger nails have an off-white line across them and a bit of a dark purple color just under that. So is this caused by panic/ anxiety attacks or is it something more serious than that?

Past couple days id be fine and then all of a sudden my heart would start racing, i would feel like i have a shortness of breath, thoughts of having heart attacks or dieing come to my head, SOMETIMES heart beats one time funny like where its real noticeable, and sometimes get mild chest pains. i been prescribed to prozac for like 2 years now and i just quit taking it like 2 months ago w/o askin doctor.. i told my doctor this and he said that that wat is causing these attacks.. anxiety attacks.. i started taking my medicine again but the doc says it will take a few weeks before my body gets use to it and the attacks to stop. is this wat is wrong or is it something else, and quittin takin prozac causes this and will it stop since i started bak? thanks. im 19 yrs old, btw.

I have severe anxiety and I've been having anxiety attacks for months. I can't take prescription pills because I'm an air traffic controller and I've been trying herbs (valerian, ignatia, passion flower) but nothing seems to work. And I ALWAYS have anxiety attacks when I have to speak to a group and next week and have to give a short presentation to everyone in my work and I'm petrified of having an anxiety attack. Please help me.

My new cat has just started her first "heat" cycle at about 7 months old, and she is yowling constantly, and looks pretty miserable and restless. I've looked up how to calm her down on the internet, but all I get is horrible suggestions about Q-tips. Anyone got any real advice? She will be spayed this month but I just want to calm her down for the moment.

My girlfriend is getting really really mad whenever she gets her period, and she'll get really bad bouts of either rage, anger, or complete sadness. Apparently, its really exaggerated, and I dont know if its normal. How do I calm her down?

i'm in college, i JUST got a new job at a bank. i NEED money, this bank pays really well, but i'm so stressed i could cry. before i got the job, i had enough down time to recoperate from school, and get all my work done. now, i'm constantly running back and fourth from work and school. i get NO sleep, i'm behind in my HW because this bank is making me work TONS of hours until i adjust. when i finally get home i'm exhausted, and then my friends 'need' me. one has a guy problem, one has a money problem, one got caught up with a bad crowd, my older brother is troubled and relys on me for shopping and such and they ALL keep calling me non-stop. it seems unfair that i'm always helping friends and no one can help me, but i like to appear really stable all the time and i don't know how they'd react if they knew how out of control i am. i wanna cry. how do people do this? whats the point of being alive if you can't live? i guess to sum this up, my question is...how do you cope with all the stress that comes from this busy stage of life?

What would be syptom of being in panic, being depressed, or stressing out, that would not require you to go to the hospital, but it serious enough for concern? Should you go to the hospital in case of Panic attack? This question is primarily about a teenagers, but answers about any age are helpful as well.

I'm 5'5 and I weigh 128. I sometimes get this weird thumping in my chest, even if I'm just sitting there doing nothing. I sometimes have chest pain. I've been under a lot of stress recently since college started and have tried cutting back more on eating, so I'm pretty sure it can't be fat related. Could I still have a stress-induced heart attack?

Does anyone know any good ways of preventing an anxiety attack without medication. I suffer from anxiety and i don't really want to take medication for it

I have generalized anxiety disorder and panic attacks(lucky me), I have been to a dr been told physically there is nothing wrong w/ me, was given Xanax to take as needed and been encouraged to get exercise. I went for a 15 minute walk today and I felt like my heart was racing when I got back, which got me worried I was going to give myself a heart attack at the ripe old age of 27. What are the chances that a healthy female like myself, would have a exercise induced heart attack? The last two times my bp was checked it was 112/84 and 121/71, I'm not overweight and try to eat pretty healthy.

I'm scared to take drugs for my anxiety problem as my doctor recommends. Has anyone found anxiety relief without drugs such as a herbal remedy or vitamin perhaps? thank you.
