Yesterday all day I had a pain in my pectrual muscle - just under the collar bone on the left side. It was like a pulled muscle pain. When I lifted my arm up to brush my hair is hurt, when I folded my arms etc it hurt. As that day went on the pain went up my neck a bit and also down my arm and just beside my arm pit. It didn't really spread across my chest or make it to the middle it just felt like a constant pulled or strained muscle pain. It is better today but still there. I have experienced chest pain with my anxiety serveral times but it is not this type of pain it is more the heavy feeling when I am anxious.
Yesterday it got so bad I took a xanax and went and layed down I kept thinking that heart attacks start in your arm and move around your shoulders chest etc. The xanax took my anxious feeling away but the chest/arm pain remained. So I had no other symptoms - no racing heart, dizzyness, breathlessness etc.
I have a 2 year old child and I am wondering if lifting her in and out of the car and up and down etc could have pulled something.
Any ideas? I really would like someone to tell me what they think
