What Does Chest-Pain Caused by Anxiety Feel like?

What Causes Chest Pain During Anxiety Attacks?

• When an anxiety attack begins, the body feels
  that it's in a state of danger and produces
  adrenaline. Adrenaline gives you "a boost" of
  energy that you are supposed to use for escaping
  "the danger". It speeds the heart rate and causes
  muscles to contract. Thats causes the chest
  pain. It can also be caused by the release of
  stomach acids and indigestion.
