Tachycardia: Fast heart rate could be a sign of anxiety, but you can not ignore it like that. It could be real fast heart rate also. If it recurs again, need to be checked out with some blood test and cardiac monitoring.

I've had right-side/sternum chest discomfort for the past three days after a panic attack. I can't tell if it gets worse with movement, it's just a dull ache that makes me anxious which leads to my heart pounding. Nerves or possible costochondritis?
