Yep....it's a muscle that runs along your chest....thats what I was told. Used to get them constantly from tension and breathing incorrectly. Once I started practising the correct way to breath....the pain subsided.

yeah i get this often, sometimes its a sharp pain that lasts seconds, sometimes its a dull ache that lasts for hours. It really worries me but doc says its just muscle tension.

It almost feels like someone is shoving an ice pick, or a very long needle into my chest. I feel a little better now. It helps to know that this can happen.

Thank you!

I have this everyday since my anxiety started. Trust me it is just anxiety ignore it and show it no fear. I promise after time they will go away.

Sharp pain in the chest is related to the muscles. It usually occurs because of the muscular tension related to anxiety.

common with me. it is somewhat new, or at least no that common with me. i used to have the same pain you are talking about, but i have not had it for sometime up until about two months ago. in the last two months, i have gone to the emergency room twice and checked out both times as healthy, but having anxiety/panic attacks. they were nice as it is common. however, i would recommend, and they had to me, that if you have chest pains, see the doctor immediately - just in case - until at least your regular doc can get your pain under control. take care of yourself.

I get the same thing. Minus the boob part, of course. Well...I could lose a few pounds, so I don't know...

I have an appt. Friday to see my GP for my annual checkup. I am going to wait to see if it happens again tomorrow or Friday before I decide whether I will bring it up. I do have to speak with him about my irregular heartbeat from the Lexapro. I am still having it more frequently than I was before, but I also think I never fully recovered from my bronchitis that I had the beginning of November.

I see my Pdoc on Tuesday and will speak with him about my "boob" pain. Have to talk with him about medicine, and he is really easy to talk to. It was nice to find a good doc on my first try.

Thanks again!

I hurt down my whole left side. I don't know why and the doctors don't either. It makes me feel like i should have had a V-8.

Yeah, I had this happen and I found out later that it was probably the beginning of my first panic attack. At 22 it was highly unlikely that I was having a heart attack, but that's what it felt like and I made my supervisor at camp drive me to the hospital 20 miles away down a country/mountain road! Turns out I "pulled a muscle in my chest wall" from breathing improperly. I had just finished taking my teaching license exam, I was about to graduate from college, and I was leading my group of kids and first-year counselors for the first time in my life. A panic attack would not even come close to describing what I was going through!

i get the same thing, i got that right now, it hurts, but i just try to ignore it and put my trust in god

I also get this pain and can tell it's muscular by the way it only hurts when I move in certain ways.
