I would go to the ER now, it could be your heart.

I agree call 911 or get some help immediately.

Is it because of the weather? Christmas? Are you feeling okay? have a cold?
try 1. clean your glasses--sounds stupid, but do it.
2. physical check: sick, sore joints?
3. weather change?
All simple, but can masquerade as depression or anxiety.

Shawn I wish I had some magical words on the tip of my tongue that would fix how you feel right now, but the only thing I can say is I wish you peace of mind and heart!

Hang on Shawn. Been through this too. It just pissed wife off! I layed down on my back with feet up on couch. Have a smoke (not if you are having a heart attach though)! Try oh try to think of something right and stick with it. Life his hell at times but your kids need a dad.

I agree with #1 and #2. If it is pretty bad (only you kow) get to a doc. No EMT or Doc but this aint good.

My heartrate and pulse are about normal, I just feel really frightened like when something really bads happens and your chest feels crushed, I had the same feeling 9/11 and I am scared

Do you take anything for anxiety?

is it more like an emotional hurt than physical?

If your not feeling the physical stuff frm heart stuff, and your sure its not physical it sounds like a nice little anxiety attack.... take a bath, or go for a walk. I live with that pain in my chest constantly. I have been told when I get farther along in counciling it will go away, but mine is long term they do make meds to combat that pain as it is very real, the come in the form of anxiety meds. I would still see a doc so that you can get relief and not suffer. even an er doc can help you just dont cloud thier dx by telling them its anxiety in the biggining... let them make sure your ok then go with the anxiety

i agree with buggy..anxiety and panic attacks are a big part of my life and they do feel like dread and FEEL like your going to have a heart attack

Sorry, I wasn't clear. It is an emotional hurt.I haven't had a panic attack in years but maybe, I am under alot of stress lately. I just don't know it's not like me

That's the worse part of an anxiety/panic attack, out of the blue... badabing badaboom! It sounds like your having major one right now! Don't you have anything you can take for it?

when i hadn't had one for a while.. i honestly thought i was going to die because i was used to not having them and lately i get these like hurtful (emotional) pains in my heart and i find a good cry does the trick..maybe it's the stress of christmas?

They don't prescribe me anything addictive since I get hooked on everything. I have some chamomile tea here somewhere
