Anxiety Symptoms: Chest, Shoulder, and Arm Pains

Keep in mind thats with me.

I am basically the chest or arm if im awake its my TOS, if i awake with heart racing, breathing hard and chest tight thats an asleep fladhback panic attack.

My arms hurting was one of my first anxiety symptoms, and it made me scared I was having a heart attack, it still does honestly, but now I know that’s one way my anxiety presents. It’s like a dull aching in my upper arm/shoulder area. Sometimes both arms, sometimes one. Or my arms just feel weird and weak. Very scary and just makes the anxiety worse :(

This was one of my first signs of anxiety as a child. I always complained my heart was racing or “skipping beats” and I had full cardiologist work up - completely normal. They said it was likely anxiety and when my heart would race (for normal reasons - exercise, excitement, etc) I would hyper focus on it and then have somewhat of a panic attack causing it to continue to happen. Once they explained it to me - never happened again. Just one of the many signs of my anxiety early in life lol

There is so much i want to do and other things i need to do, but ugh, when its flared i just plumb cant do for me. But if someone else needs me its like i can just push a hold button push it away from me and pop up right off to help the other person.

Anxiety is so frustrating. I feel like it is such a waste of time.

Thought I was having a stroke Sunday

I feel for you because i get bad anxiety every other day..jitters shakes nervousness cry smh i beg tobdie when it happens its so bad. And mainly alone no one home as it happens..i jave a irge to get outside and go riding in my wheelchair ..i have anxiety games on a app, tv helps but has to be muted.i hate noise as it happens to..hope u get better soon

Absolutely! Feels like everything tightens up

When my anxiety attacks , chest pain, numbness and tingling, joint pains all these I experienced

Chest pains and body and joint pain are symptoms of depression and anxiety💕

This is what I’m dealing with currently, and as I’ve always heard women rarely even know they are having a heart attack it makes me even more anxious! But I also have medical/health anxiety and agoraphobia, so I’m just stuck with the feelings.

@KAP40 Yes! I also get shaky legs which makes me believe I’m going to collapse, it’s an awful feeling.

Same as of right now 😥

Yes, and I’m getting tingling too! I had the worst tension headache the other day? I thought I was having a stroke . But I’m sure it’s my anxiety! Feel better! Exercise that improves the muscles and lessens the pain.

For me my heart races, I get the throat closing also I feel like I need air, noise irritates me and I feel like I gotta get away. Oh and sometimes I get gittery.

I always get chest pains and my throat closes up on me - I low-key feel like I'm having a brain aneurysm when my face heats up
