Question
The patient described chest pain during straining or deep breathing and also during night awakenings, accompanied by nausea. These symptoms have persisted for months. The patient mentioned that a heart ultrasound was normal, but the doctor suspects anxiety disorder or excessive fatigue from caring for a child. Can anxiety disorder cause persistent chest pain?
Answer
Based on the patient’s description and test results, the patient may have bronchitis and needs to follow the prescribed treatment for inflammation. The patient’s lung markings are heavier, and the specific situation is not clear, so the possibility of an anxiety disorder cannot be ruled out. Anxiety disorder can cause various physical symptoms to appear. The patient needs to continue to monitor their condition and adjust to the best state, increase exercise, and maintain a diet that is light.
