Dealing with Anxiety Chest Pain: Seeking Advice

Does anyone suffer from "anxiety chest pain"..... I've been to the ER twice because I truly thought I was having a heart attack, or maybe some sort of heart condition🙈 turns out it was just my anxiety. If anyone else experiences this, how long does your pains usually last? Mines is anywhere from 2 days to a week.

yeah I think I've learned through time that everyone has similar but also specific anxiety symptoms. It's crazy. Like recently I experienced the " stomach " type symptoms during an episode. Never have ever. So it was just so shocking.

Yes, my anxiety induces my Costochondritis which has sent me to the ER due to feeling like a heart attack.

I have. It's absolutely horrible. I have had them since I was a teenager. I've went to the er several times in the past. They kept sending me to a heart doctor until finally a Dr figured it out. I'm on meds and I still have that at times.

This has happened to me so many times! In high school i had to walk around with a heat pack for about a week after an er visit because of them. For me taking space from whatever is stressing me out helps a bit. Heat also really helps, and ice helps, but to a lesser degree for me.
