Question?

4 Hi blondie, In a lot of cases, this is a gastric problem.  Anxiety makes some of us overbreath, and in doing that we have a tendency to swallow air.   Swallowing a lot of air makes our stomach and chest bloat, and overbreathing makes our chests sore - constant hyperventilation over time can actually weaken the chest muscles. Understanding this was a big hurdle for me to overcome as part of my recovery.  Now that I am breathing normally again, I seem to have much more control over panic, as I am not constantly breathing badly as a response to my anxiety.   Read this post of mine... http://www.paniccenter.net/support/viewmessages.cfm? Forum=2&Topic=1988 This may or may not be the cause of you

What makes if feel better? If execise or walking make it better, it's just anxiety. With heart problems, ANY exercise will be very painful. I know for me, moving always helps. And...if a doctor told you you have a strong healthy heart, you must believe him. You would have had signs that he wouldn't have missed. Trust him. Danielle

See when i think about the chest pains, thats when they come on. I used to be so scared about that but after i found out it was anxiety i stoped worring about it. I am just worring about it. The doctor told me that I have a very strong heart and i am very healthy. I really dont think i have to worry because i run all the time and i play LOTS of golf. I dont think a heart problem would come on now. ~*~*Blondie*~*~ If you can post some replys it would be nice!Thanks :)

Have you had an EKG or a "Stress Test" for your chest pains? If not, you should see your doctor ASAP! However, if you have had these tests done, your chest pains could very well be anxiety. I personally had all these tests done, along with extensive blood-work, and everything came back OK. I still have occasional chest pains(sometimes quite bad) but I KNOW it's just anxiety and the pain generally subsides in a few minutes. When the pain occurs, try some form of meditation, it helps me. HTH, Good Luck!! Let us know how you're doing! :)
