Anxiety ??

Hello~ Has anyone else felt sharp stabbing pains in your chest with anxiety, and a feeling as if you are being smothered?? My mother told it all has to do with anxiety and the feeling like you can't breath is hyperventlation. This really scares me. I know its not my heart , I've had ekgs and chest xrays. My doc tells me my breathing is fine. Thanks:) Amy

Hi, Amy & welcome to our caring community. You are NOT alone. Anxiety can affect us in many ways. It's hard to comprehend, but chest pains & breathing difficulties are very common. It's also hard for us to accept that our tests results are normal & believe the doctor when he says there's nothing wrong. So, I guess your mom is right.
Have you discussed things with your doctor? Did he say that it is anxiety?
