Can chest pain from anxiety last for days?

I am a 35 year old male. I wonder if chest pain from anxiety can last for days?

It can, but it would be a good idea to check with your doctor to be sure it is not something more serious.
I know that pain in the chest or abdomen can be caused by anxiety but that is the last cause on the list. Any 35 year old man needs to see his primary care doctor for a check-up and an EKG to be sure it isn’t cardiac.
Definitely! However, it is absolutely imperative to make sure that there’s not an organic cause with a cardiac or pulmonary ideology. Absolutely mandatory to get tightly followed and examined very, very thoroughly.
