What Causes Severe Chest Pain?

Hi. I almost got into a crash the other day while driving and it scared me really bad. About a minute after the scare, I started having really bad chest pains. Even days after the pain is still there when I go to laugh or if I touch the part of the chest that hurts. Why do I have pains and why hasn t it gone away?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are mostly having post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
You met with life-threatening accident which created panic impact on your mind. This is giving you stress, anxiety and panic attacks which cause chest pain.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
You will definitely improve with anxiolytic drugs and counselling sessions.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
