Could pain in and around chest be due to anxiety/stress?
human
Hi,I am a 22 year old female and have been having chest pain that lasts for hours randomly for the past couple weeks. The pain moves around my chest and I sometimes have back pain at the same time. I don't smoke, I exercise regularly and am pretty healthy in general - my blood pressure is 124/80. I am 5'3 and weigh around 128 pounds. Could these be signs of heart disease or do you think it is just anxiety/stress?

Hello,Heart disease and anxiety disorders have very similar symptoms. Considering that your b.p. and other parameters are normal, this pain is most probaby due to stress. But i would still advice you to go for an ECG just for an assurance that this is only due to stress. I hope you donot have gastritis.Thanks.
