I went to the emergency room because my heart would hurt at random moment And they told me that it might be anxiety, but I’m back home and I’m still having that same feeling so is it really anxiety. Have anyone else felt heart pain because of anxiety?

100% i have dealt with this for a long time went to the emergency room 3 times and got the same response, i have huge bodily centered anxiety so this has was something that super freaked me out. It especially sucks because it’s just a loop, you get the heart pain, freak out and get anxious then the anxiety causes more heart pain and so on. I will say it’s gotten much better with time but just remember to remind yourself that you really are okay and the doctors know what they’re talking about

i have been experiencing this a lot more recently like my heart hurtsssss but i am genuinely so stressed i feel like it is the stress and anxiety. And the fact that i feel sharp pain in my heart is making me extra anxious

I would try some different guided meditations/breathing techniques. I was skeptical abt it at first but it helps. I had the same issue but its also better safe than sorry like i ended up getting a heart monitor on for a week and they said nothing was abnormal after that and it was probs an anxiety thing

Usually for me that’s how my anxiety starts I’m always checking my heart. I had multiple ekgs and they’re fine but the anxious part of me doesn’t believe it :( just try to remember it’s anxiety and do breathing exercises to help slow your heart

drink a glass or two of some red wine, i remember one day i felt like this even with my anxiety med and it really helped bc it was overwhelming. i’d chill out on social media for a bit too maybe read a book or watch an old movie
