charlotteshead Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Anyone found meds or anything else that relieves the chest pain? Mines so bad I've had EKGs, all that stuff etc, but nothing...it's just the anxiety. I used to take Valium and it helped but I can't take benzos anymore...basically, I used to have Dissociative Identity Disorder but have integrated and recovered, but Valium makes my alters suddenly reappear, no good :/ Warm baths help a little but that's not very convenient. I'm hopefully getting a job soon and I'm doing pretty well on my meds but I'm struggling with niggling pain and shortness of breath and worried how to handle it when working Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 (edited) I had the same issues with chest pain, and nothing wrong was found. My pdoc put me on propranolol which really worked for me. Not on it now, but when I was it really helped out a lot. ETA: I'm sorry ... I didn't realize you were already on propranolol. Have you tried tenormin?

revolution724 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I've had anxiety-related chest pain in the past. Breathing exercises helped some. Also in retrospect, I think some of it might have been heartburn from a poor diet, so making sure to eat well only helps. Tea, too, can be soothing. Since you found that warm baths help, I wonder if a heating pad might do something for you? Could be more convenient, depending on what kind of work you will be doing.
