Anxiety or Panic Attack
Chest pain that resembles a heart attack can be brought on by situations that induce panic episodes or high levels of anxiety. The pain is different, though, because it typically feels moderate and acute rather than heavy or pressure-like. People who have anxiety or panic attacks frequently experience tingling over their entire body, not just in one arm.
A panic attack or anxiety attack [2] is more likely to happen after a stressful event, such as a fight, but an infarct might happen for any reason.
How to treat it
Find a quiet area and make an effort to unwind if you think you’re having an anxiety or panic attack. Additionally, you can take a relaxing beverage like chamomile, passionflower, or valerian tea or listen to music. You may also take your as-needed or PRN anxiolytic medication if you are receiving treatment for anxiety.
However, you should visit the doctor if the pain lasts for more than 15 minutes and you suspect an infarct. The hospital can provide treatment choices to ease the discomfort even if it’s merely anxiety.
