Pain in the arm and chest.
I've been on medication for anxiety for the past month, Betacap tr 40 in the mrng and paxidep cr12.5 at night after food. My main triggers are chest and left arm pain. I took ecg, echo and tmt tests on the first week of april everything was normal. I need help in differentiating anxiety related pain and heart related pain. Because this is one of my main triggers for panic attacks. The pain I'm feeling in my chest lasts only for seconds that too in random spots and pain in the arm goes away when I hold it in a certain position, also arm gets numb at certain times.
