Hi. I am having an unbelievably stressful week. House move imminent. DC just started new school. Dh abroad. Massive workload at work.
Today I had to do some staff training and felt a bit nervous, as is usual for me where public speaking is concerned. I have sometimes has rapid breathing and dry mouth in this situation but it passes. However, today I had a full achy chest pain that went on for about half an hour, then returned after the session ( it may have persisted during it, but if so, must have been mild enough to be ignore, unlike earlier).
So... Is it heart? Anxiety? Or stress putting strain on my heart? Should I worry? Never had this before. I do occasionally have palpitations which may be linked to stress. Had a clear ecg within the last 6 months, as palpitations got really bad for a couple of weeks ( despite lack of obvious stress at that particular time) . The dull ache was entirely new. Any thoughts?
