Coxygrll,
I have shooting pains under my left breast, sometimes so severe that it takes my breath away. It scares me to death (no pun intended) and your post gives me hope that mine is anxiety-related also. My bloodpressure is up, and I'm only 34. Much too young to die of a stroke. I've complained to a doctor before but it's never happened while I've been examined so they couldn't tell what was wrong.Good luck,
KDi> I am 24 years old and have just recently been diagnosed with anxiety/depression/OCD. WHEW! I have been to the emergency room 4 times with chest pain and to my PCP 5 times in the last month thinking that they were missing something - that I had cancer, lupus, ms, you name it, I though I had it. THey assured me it was anxiety. I still have shooting pains through my whole chest (they feel like they are in my breasts - they only last a few seconds)and my pectoral muscles and upper back are always sore. I also have pain right under both sides of my lower ribs. I'm still in denial that this is anxiety related, but I've had EKG's, x-rays, blood tests and a sed rate done. All normal. It's good to know I'm not the only one who feels like I'm going to die. coxygrrl@yahoo.com if anyone wants/needs to talk. I still feel alone in this.
