Could Chest Pain Be Due To Stress?

hi I have been experiencing a lot of chest pain recently, although my doctor thinks its cause by stress she is reffering me to cardiologist just to be sure, but I have recently noticed something else, as well as chest pain I have a swollen left rid cage and seems like a growth on it! could this be connected or more likely be just a fatty lump?. the area is very tender to touch and feels very uncomfortable.

Dear
Welcome to HCM
We understand your concerns

I went through your details. I suggest you not to worry much. It is possible for stressed people to have chest pain. The basic chest pain starts with real stress. But stressed people use their fingers to massage and press the area frequently unknowingly. Such an act agitates the muscles around that area and they become tender to touch and usually painful.

Your doctor is doing right job by referring you to a cardiologist to be sure. Just work with your doctor and don't worry.

Psychotherapy techniques should suit your requirement. If you require more of my help in this aspect, Please post a direct question to me in this URL. http://goo.gl/aYW2pR. Make sure that you include every minute details possible. I shall prescribe the needed psychotherapy techniques.

Hope this answers your query. Available for further clarifications.
Good luck.
