I have had the feeling of being winded or bruise in my breast bone area & about the same area on my back. I don t feel it all the time. I ve had an ECG and all ok there. I take Zoloft for panic attacks. I ve read that this pain could be due to anxiety.
Hello, Welcome to Chat Doctor Heaviness or bruised feelings in breastbone area can occur due to anxiety. You have normal ECG and you are a known case of panic disorder so most likely the reason of epigastric distress is anxiety. Zoloft is a good Antianxiety Chat Doctor.  For acute symptoms like you are having medicines like low dose benzodiazepines as Mizoram, Diazepam can be used. Consult your psychiatrist for the medicines. I would advise you to reduce caffeine intake. Caffeine and tea increase the risk of anxiety and symptoms like epigastric distress. Thanks.
