I think it’s muscle tension, for me, my blood pressure and rate is fine. I had it for i dunno, 3 months? It also felt like I couldnt breathe deep enough. And again another time for a couple of months, which felt even more muscular than the time b4, stabbing pain when I laid on that side for a month, that one started at a social event completely out of nowhere so couldn't have been pulled by anything other than internal tension. I think spending so long researching what it could be, and trying to Make it go away made it much worse because ofc…it was giving me anxiety which made it hurt which made me anxious. I can’t tell you what made it go away, I think seeing a doctor to be like. You’re fine. Was good. But after that trying to accept it and idk, telling my body to do it worst instead of trying to fight it and being scared of it getting worse. I still get it now but usually only for a few days. I also try to get my heart rate up once a day by like. Jumping or running etc. which kinda helps get rid of the anxiety that I feel like…builds up without my awareness.

hmmm interesting... im glad that its lessened for you at least!

#breathing has somehow been no problem for me. no dizziness #though a lot of what ur saying is also familiar to me (the feeling that its become more muscular)...#tho im aware anxiety chest pain can present differently with people #idk like. what actually started this all off was that i was waking up with chest pain in the beginning #itd go away eventually but id wake up and there was chest pain. then it just started getting worse and happening god knows when #i worked out+exercised regularly but after it started getting bad i didnt touch a dumbbell for months =/ it didnt improve #i wasnt even doing like super heavy weights either. sigh #idk at this point. either its gonna go away or im gonna randomly drop dead #but i feel like those are the ideal endings at this point. because the worst is that this keeps going indefinitely and its preventing me #from like. doing things rip #anon #ask #going to the doctor and having them tell me 'well we cant find anything' is only pissing me off tbh so that doesnt help X_X #<- to be clear im seeing a cardiologist and hes REALLY dragging it the fuck out on doing any scans #wants to be sure its 'not a muscle problem' which i understand but i think hes putting off anything w radiation #becos of possible effects on fertility and unfortunately seems like the kind of doctor that wont take 'i dont want kids' as an answer #<- to be fair this is an assumption. he just keeps saying that im Young and he doesnt want to do a ct scan unless He Absolutely Has To #UNFORTUNATELY. hes also the only cardiologist we know that doesnt charge gap which can get pretty expensive #genuinely if i dont make progress the next appt will have to try someone else tbh
