Recently I’ve been having extreme chest/back pains around 1 am every single night (I’ve been kind of a night owl since quarantine) and I’m starting to think they’re caused by my anxiety. They feel like my chest is tight and I can barely get a breath in, mixed with like a sharp knife-like pain. I went to Urgent Care not long ago and was told I am a perfectly healthy young woman, so I really don’t think I’m experiencing some kind of cardiac problem, but every time it happens I start panicking more and think I’m having a heart attack.

My S.O. And I recently lost our jobs, his Mom has been non stop attacking us, and now I’ve been worried about trying to see a psychiatrist on top of our financial troubles so I’d say I’ve been non stop stressed lately. I don’t remember the last time I felt relaxed.

Does anyone else experience this physical pain from anxiety? I’ve just recently moved states as well, can anyone walk me through the process of finding a new psychiatrist so I can get back on fluoxetine? (Sorry I’m still very new to the adult world). I feel like I’m going crazy.
