Mimics...: Anxiety and stress can cause many symptoms including stomach ache, headache and chest pain. Anxiety attacks can mimic the same symptoms as a heart attack (chest pain, arm pain, difficulty breathing, impending doom etc.) and the best course is to be evaluated in the er. If a full evaluation is negative, which usually involves a cardiologist, then you should see your doctor to discuss anxiety.
