Can Stress Cause Chest Pain?

Hi, I've had chest pain on my left side for over 4 days now. I also have a strained pain in my left shoulder and arm. I get it especially from tensing, when getting up from lying down and when I'm hunched over. It stops when I get up and walk around or when I'm lying down. Can you help?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, stress and anxiety can cause similar kind of pain.
But better to rule out heart diseases for your symptoms.
So get done ecg and 2d echo. If these are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
