iforgotmyname Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I have been experiencing chest pains ever since my last relationship ended. I thought the pain would go away eventually. But it has been a year and the pain is still there, it hurts the most every night and morning, before I went to bed and when I woke up. Every single day. I cannot even tell if the pain is emotional or physical anymore. It happens everyday, even when I am not thinking about her the pain is there. Is it normal? How can I stop the pain?

perfectlyflawed459 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 I would go get that checked by a doctor. That is odd that it has been occurring all this time, so that is what I would suggest. Link to post Share on other sites
stitch702 Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Is it actual chest pain? Like is it more physical than emotional? Do you feel like your heart has skipped beats or is your heart beating faster? I agree that you should see a doctor if this has been occuring regularly for the past year. Perhaps you suffer from some form of anxiety. A lot of times emotional trauma can manifest with physical signs and symptoms also. You say it happens in the mornings and the nights? What exactly goes on in your mind during those times? Does the pain ever occur during physical activity? I would highly recommend that you see a physician. Link to post Share on other sites
brokendreamz Posted January 16, 2012 Share Posted January 16, 2012 Defo see the Doc. I experienced similar for years - thought it was normal. It was bought on by anxiety... Which led to depression... which led to her leaving.. Which made it even worse!! Doc prescribed beta blockers to stop the 'stomach dropping' sensation and Citalopram for depression. For the first time in mt adult life I feel 'normal' No sense of impending doom and no constant chest pain etc. If she hadn't left, I would still be in a very dark place. After 8 years together I find it difficult to admit this - I am better off because she left however I am not better off without her. 12 Months down. I'm 100 better than 12 months ago - hopefully this will carry on for the next 12 months and on! Good luck at the quack :0) Link to post Share on other sites
Author iforgotmyname Posted January 16, 2012 Author Share Posted January 16, 2012 You say it happens in the mornings and the nights? What exactly goes on in your mind during those times? When we were together, I would think about her before I go to sleep, it helps me relax and rest. When I woke up, I would think about how great it is and how lucky I am that I woke up to a world with her by my side. I stopped doing that after she left, at least I tried. I swore that some days she was totally off my mind, but the pain in the chest would still be the first thing to wake me up in the morning. It does not just happen in the morning and night. I have to keep doing things, if I stopped and let my mind wander, the pain would be back. I never thought this would last for a year. Link to post Share on other sites
