I'm worried, /adv/....
For the past few week, I've been having bad chest pains. I was diagnosed with Anxiety Syndrome back in 2015, so I figured the chest pains were something to do with that, or maybe the pain is just radiating from my bad back. But now the pain is almost constant. I feel it all the time. Its not really sharp, nor does it radiate to my arms or neck or anything like that, but still...
I don't want to have a heart attack and die at 29. I drank really hard for years, always liquor, and I still drink now, but just beer. And smoked too (quitting now), and I'm generally pretty stressed out. I know I fit the bill....
Getting my heart stress tested tomorrow. I went to that doctor a few weeks ago, and he monitored my heart for like 30 seconds and said everything was fine, and a few months (maybe a year?) back I wore one of those chest rig things with the stick pads for a month, still they said I was all good. My blood pressure has always been fine too... What the fuck is going on in there....
Life just got a lot better for me...I don't want to die now...
Fuck, guys...
Anyone have any experience in this field?

Really the best thing would to get a professional's opinion...

Go to a doctor OP. It might not be anything serious or it might be something serious but treatable. I went to a doctor for a similar thing and it ended up being inflammation of the ribs, called costochondritis which is fairly common in 20-somethings and easily treatable.

Yeah, I'm seeing one tomorrow. So fucking worried right now.

Does it hurt when you bend forwards?

Yeah, it does actually.... I noticed it bothers me more at work when bending forward. What does that mean?

sounds like muscle pain. I don't know why you'd feel pain in your chest as a 29 year old and assume it's your heart other than you being a dumb hypochondriac.

Well, my body is pretty broken...my mind too (I'm 100% disability through the VA for PTSD and some other shit). Severe anxiety, body hypersensitivity, depression, alcoholism. Fuck, I just want to know what the fuck is wrong with me. Why is this pain here, and why is it constant? Its like I have a rock in my chest or something...

Unfortunately it can mean dozens of things, but generally symptoms tend to be more visible on men so there's a chance it could be your heart indeed, a small one but a chance nonetheless. Only an actual medic can give you an accurate answer.

I just wanna get this test over with. But I keep getting the same dry answer "its your anxiety". Fucking bullshit, I feel this even when Im not having anxiety.....

>>18371526
stress can cause symptoms similar to a heart attack which include chest pains
its fucking scary.
>>
>>18371661
I don't know how to de-stress. And yeah, it's fucking terrifying. I live it every day. Every. Fucking. Day.
It never stops.
