Medical attention: If this is new chest pain, please get yourself to an emergency room for an exam. Heart disease can manifest differently in women than men. If your heart shows up to be healthy (and it may well be) then anxiety attacks can also cause similar symptoms. Your doctors will differentiate which causes apply to you. Help with anxiety is available through psychiatrists & psychologists. Be well.

Get checked: These symptoms can be from multiple potentially serious causes including mild heart attack, pneumonia, pulmonary embolus, aortic dissection or other problem. Seek medical attention as soon as possible for a workup and treatment.
