[|Human|] hi, i am a 22 year old male, for the past month or so i have been experiencing pain in the left side of my chest, this radiates more around the back where my shoulder blade is. It can be described as a nipping/dull ache. I am an occasional smoker, only when i have had alcohol, however i used to smoke quite regularly from 12 year old until around 16/17 year old so this may be a factor.i work in an office which means i sit at a desk for around 8 hours a day, this could also be a factor i assume.i have quite a lot of mucus in my throat on a morning, however it is usually clear in colour and im assuming it is more to do with the dry air in my workplace as an air conditioning unit is on next to me all day. The pain doesnt worsen when i take a deep breath either, it is quite sporadic and comes and goes when it feels like. i have also been diagnosed with social anxiety, and I have heard that chest pains can be caused due to anxiety.i look forward to your response as i am getting myself quite worried.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. Yes, you are right. Anxiety can cause chest pain. And by your history and description, possibility of stress and anxiety related symptoms is more likely. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution. You may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor. Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. Avoid stress and tension, be relaxed and calm. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
