Physical Symptoms of Stress and Anxiety
My doctor attributed the symptoms to stress and anxiety
Anxiety Question:
I am only 22 and I been having some difficulties breathing for the past few days. Then I started getting some chest pains throughout my chest and today its into my shoulder and back and arm. Just little pains here and there every now and then.
On Saturday I went to the ER and they took a cat scan and blood work which came back fine. Yesterday I went to my family doctor and they did an EKG which she said looked fine, too and they attributed the symptoms to stress and anxiety.
I am terrified that I am going to have a heart attack. Could these symptoms really be stress related and lasting this long?
Anxiety Answer:
Yes, you’re perfectly fine.
I’m 32 years old and have been dealing with anxiety, stress and panic attacks since I was under 10 years old.
You need to talk with a counselor and maybe a psychologist.
