HI! I am having a pain in my side but it closer to my back. My right side. It just started hurting about 20 minutes ago. It even hurts when i breathe. A couple days ago i felt like i was having a panic attack. Accelerated heart rate and my body stiffened up

Hello thanks for asking from HCMThe accelerated heart rate, stiff body could be due to anxiety. Anxiety results in rapid heart rate, palpitations, tightness of shoulders, chocking sensation in throat, tremors etc symptoms. But if the pain is increasing on breath then that is due to some muscular origins. This can't be labelled due to anxiety.I'd advise you to visit a psychiatrist for evaluation. Drugs like SSRIs like Fluoxetine, Paroxetine, Sertraline etc are used commonly in anxiety and have great efficacy. You can visit a psychiatrist for opinion and prescription.Thanks and Take Care
