Any advice for dealing with chest tightness?
I just got out of the hospital recently for chest pain. They said I have costochondritis. They gave me some medicine to help with the pain and the nausea, but the symptom that’s been the hardest to deal with is the tightness in my chest. I have a severe anxiety disorder, and the feeling in my chest almost perfectly mimics a panic attack, which is seemingly causing my brain to fill in the gaps and give me severe anxiety (unbearably more than usual). I’m thinking about going to urgent care in the morning (I don’t know if there is anything they can do), but genuinely, I think this has been the most hellish experience a medical situation has caused me just from the mental side. Please of anybody know a way to alleviate the chest tightness please tell me.
