I've had anxiety on and off my whole life and I know how panic attacks manifest for me. In the 6 months though, it's a newer, different feeling..  Usually I'll have numb limbs and chest pain, like dull aching..   But now? It's moreso stabbing near my heart and a feeling of tightness JUST on the left side..  So tight that it's hard to breathe deeply. At first, I thought it was actual heart issues but they haven't found anything yet and say my heart seems normal. It didn't occur to me until now that it might be a new manifestation of anxiety..  Today it started when my partner called me and told me the dog (who is my everything) seemed sick. Boom, right away the pain starts. My heart doesn't race and I'm not having a panic attack..  But I just noticed that that pain came back instantly so it struck me that it might have been anxiety this whole time.  Does anyone else get similar pains from anxiety? Again - stabbing. Bad.
