For the last few months I have been getting this pain in my back between my shoulder blades that runs up the back of my neck into my jaw,i only get it when im sitting down,it only last 20-60 seconds.I get it once maybe twice a month...I do suffer from anxiety/panic disorder,and im on meds. For it.I was so scared yesterday, thought I was having a heart attack.But it only triggers it, if im sitting down. I have no chest pains.Is this all in my head,does it happen because I have bad posture.Please hep

Feel the Same Way
My kind is quick stabbing pains in my back. They'd go once only for a second. Is this in the same order of anxiety symptoms?

I dont think so,i have had anxiety for over 10 yrs.Now.The pains that occured brought on my anxiety attack.It really scared me.Maybe it was the way that I sit sometimes,it just scares me that it goes up into my jaw like that.It freaks me out.Going to see the Dr. Tue. To see whats causing it.Everytime which isnt alot,when I get it I think im having a heart attack,but it happens only when im sitting or laying down,and its not a sharp pain,more like a nagging pain,it just really scares me.Thank you
