Sharp Chest Pains Starting
Hi, new to this forum, and just wanted to tell a little about me. I have been dealing with anxiet for 4 years now. Just recently had my third child and since then my anxiety has gotten worse. I was having more attacks and symptons of dizziness, shortness of breath, feeling you know "weird", worrying constantly something is wrong with my health and am dying. I went to the doc and he put me on paxil. Made me feel worse. Now I am taking effexor 150mg a day and klonopin for the days when I feel really yukky.
Recently, I have been getting these sharp stabbing like pains in the left side of my chest. They only last for a few seconds, but it seems like it is happening several times a day.
Is this all really just anxiety? Or something else? Pulled musle from carrying car seat and baby maybe? What do you think?
Anybody else on effexor?
I am thinking it is not making me feel as good as I can feel.
Help.

When all the results are ok then it might be some gastric problem. Try to eat healthy food and take up some exercises to avoid this.

The sharp pains around the chest area may be due to gas pain. It is often accompanied by bloating too.

Sharp Pain
When I was pregnant I had heart palpitations and I had to wear a heart monitor for 2 days where they discovered that I had skipped beats which is supposedly totally normal and a lot of people have them they just don't know it. They said the palps were from prenancy, although I still get them even now. I also had an electrocardiogram done which came back all normal so I am guessing (more like hoping) there is nothing wrong with my heart, but it is just my mind getting the best of me or pulled muscle or something?

Anybody know anything good about the effexor????
