Sometimes, yes - go see your general practitioner though since this symptom falls under a lot of categories. And definitely mention to your therapist!

Yes, have definitely experienced this. Anxiety causes chest pain, which makes you worried about your chest which causes more anxiety...it’s a rough cycle. Know that nothing is wrong with your chest and seeing a doc can bring you peace of mind. Struggled with this to the point I was not eating or sleeping I thought my lungs were collapsing

Thank you WM1. Yes planning to get checked up for sure.

Yes. Be sure to ask your doctor. They may have you do a stress test (think running on treadmill with things hooked up to you) to rule out underlying non-anxiety causes.

I’ve been depressed for years now and this past week I lost a dog I’ve had for 15 years; he was one of the only bright spots in my life and I’ve just found it so hard to focus or motivate myself on anything after this. I genuinely feel like I’m at rock bottom, Idk if I’m crazy to feel that way bc of a dog but I used to be able to control this and put up a front but now my depression and anxiety are starting to leak into my work conversations completely unintentionally, I wish this would stop :(
