i am having this chest pain. i dont know if its just that my left side is sore maybe or of its something worse. my left shoulder hurts. the left side of my neck hurts too along with the left side of my chest. like the left ribs underneath my left breast. my heart is pounding hard and fast and its very scary. is this a heart attack? i just decided to take an ativan and i hope my heart will stop pounding so hard and fast. does anyone else get this? what do i do??

i actually woke up in a panic just now with chest pain. it comes an goes and is around the collar bone area. but if it was a heart attack, you wouldnt have been able to type. i get random chest pains all the time and get so scared! i hate anxiety...

I had this exactly same thing happen to me take my advice its just anxiety coming out. I used to have them when I didnt even feel anxious. It would happen alot of times at 5pm which is rush hour at my work. I was so busy working I didnt even connect the dots. I would also get them about 10 minutes after I was anxious but it passed.

I felt the EXACT way you felt firts it was on the left side of my chest where my heart is, after a few weeks it began t radiate to other parts of my chest (under my rib cage, under my armpit and up my neck sometimes). I was terrified! trust me its not a heart attack you would know trust me!
So I went to my doctor, she asked me all these random questions and tapped places, etc. she said its stress but were gonna do more tests to see.

sooo I got a blood test to check for everything (thyroid, other diseases) and EKG, stress test, ecko and a chest x ray. All came back negative!! Since Ive accepted that yes, stress can do this to a persons body I began to feel better. since working with the program I dont get the pains anymore.

I reallllly dont think its anything except stress. But if you can afford it go to the doctor and get some tests done.Put your mind at ease that way. I think you are absolutely fine! Keep us updated!

I had a "pinching feeling" on my left side under my ribs. It hurt but I didn't know what caused it.My cardioligist said it was not my heart but he didn't offer any solution. That "pissed" me off.
I used the RELAXATION CD.,many ,many times and used the breathing tecneqic and the tension routine when ever the "pinching" started. IT is gone now , I credit this program and the relaxation cd for my "CURE".
