I'm on lexapro 5mg for axiety/depression. i also have reoccurring pains in my left chest sternum area that tested negative for heart/lung/gerd. ideas?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Chest pains: and cardiac conditions ruled out suggest anxiety, i.e., tight muscles in chest. Stay w/your doctor but consider learning stress management from a mental health professional. Peace and good health. Clinical hypnosis can be very helpful. See www.asch.net for referrals tpo licensed health care providers.
