Shortness of breath , chest, back pain.

Hello, Thank you for sharing your concern. Experiencing chest discomfort, shortness of breath, weakness, and body pain can understandably feel frightening and stressful. It is good that you already consulted a doctor earlier and noticed that the symptoms reduced afterwards. At times, stress, anxiety, overthinking, or exam-related pressure can increase physical symptoms such as chest tightness, breathing difficulty, muscle tension, weakness, or body discomfort. The mind and body are closely connected, so emotional stress can sometimes affect physical sensations more strongly, especially during periods of pressure or fear. However, since these symptoms involve chest pain and breathing difficulty, it is important not to ignore them completely. If symptoms continue, increase, or become severe, please consult a medical doctor again for proper evaluation and reassurance. A few things that may help: • Practice slow breathing and relaxation exercises regularly • Maintain proper posture, sleep, hydration, and routine • Notice whether symptoms increase during stress, fear, or exam pressure • Reduce excessive health-related worry or over-monitoring of sensations Speaking with a counselling psychologist can also help in managing stress, anxiety, panic-related symptoms, and health worries if they are contributing to the cycle.
