Anxiety

If you are experiencing chest pain due to anxiety, you can try these strategies:

• Practice breathing: Try deep breathing or diaphragmatic breathing to reduce your heart rate and stop an anxiety attack. 
• Use relaxation techniques: Try meditation, yoga, or visualizing a safe place. 
• Exercise: Regular exercise can help reduce muscle tension and release chemicals that make you feel happier. 
• Get enough sleep: Aim for 7–9 hours of sleep a night and a regular bedtime routine. 
• Eat healthy: A balanced diet can help improve your health and wellness. 
• Limit caffeine: Avoid energy drinks, coffee, chocolate, and other sources of caffeine. 
Use the 3-3-3 rule: When you feel anxiety coming on, name three things you can see, three things you can hear, and move three parts of your body. 
Use a smartphone app: There are many apps that can help you manage your anxiety, such as journaling apps, educational apps, and stress-reducing games.
