it’s hard to describe but its like a fullness or a dullness of my left chest. THere’s no pain just uncomfortable. I’ve had 2 EKG’s and all came back good and a blood test that looked good. Originally it started out on the right side of my chest but after a couple days went over to the left side. The doctor’s tell me it’s anxiety but my question is, what causes the discomfort in the chest from anxiety?
In a state of anxiety your sympathetic nervous system kicks in and a lot of changes happen throughout you body. Your blood vessels constrict, your heart beats faster and your respirarations increase. Your muscles tighten. All of these contribute to a sensation of chest tightness and discomfort. If you continue to have pain and don’t believe the cause is from anxiety, it’s always in your best interest to seek out a second opinion.
