Ok i have a history of upper back pain,
ive had it for like 3 years. it comes and
goes. but twice now i have expiernced
something out of the nor. back about 6
months ago it started off with a bit of
back pain moved into my chest an di
couldnt breath. i went to the hospital and
they told me i had an anxiety/panic
attack. i was confused because my back
pain is a "normal" thing i have, but not
being able to breath is somethign else. so
i was confused too because i haev never
had an anxiety or panic attack before in
my life. well yesterday i felt soreness in
my back again. not too bad. well then i
was helping my boyfriend paint, and he was
showing me something, well he stood there
and was watching so i got nervous and
asked him to finish. he got a bit upset
with me because i was giving up, well the
back pain increased and then i couldnt
breath. when i tried to sit it just made
it worse. i was in so much pain, chest and
back wise and freaked out that i couldnt
breath that i just started to cry which of
course made it worse. after about an hour
i was ok, but still had back pain. after
about 2 -3 hours i was perfectly normal
just a bit of soreness..
As anyone else ever expernc. any of this
with anxiety attacks????

Just a thought, do you still have your
gall bladder? When I had gallstones I was
misdiagnosed with back pain since I had a
history of it also. I got really nervous,
too, when it happened. It was sharp
horrible pain in my chest, I understand it
can be other areas in the abdomen as well.
It made my back hurt, too. Did you feel
nauseaous at all? It really did come and
go just like yours is.

You can have back pain too. When I first
had it, I thought it was my back flaring
up. When the pain started, I got
light-headed and quesy, which triggered a
panic /anxiety attack. Just something to
ask your doctor about.
