I devolped anxiety about 4 months ago,
which was caused by my thyroid disease. I
am now taking synthroid for my thyroid and
Xanax for my anxiety. I have been having
chest pain in the left side for about 3
months now on and off. I had a EKG and was
hooked up to a heart moniter and they
found nothing. I was reading on here and
noticed that it could be caused by anxiety
stress in the chest muscles. When I push
on my ribs it comes back. If it was stress
chest mucsles wouldnt they be able too see
it on a chest x ray that I had taken?
An X-ray image can’t help us to explore
chest muscle diseases. In your case, an
X-ray was used to explore your lungs,
heart and the bones of the ribcage.
