you have no idea how thankful I am that you wrote. It only makes alot of sense to me as I AM prone to anxiety attacks and it seems that I'll be talking to my doc about this even though he ruled OUT anxiety before teh testing began. Even when I take ativan it still is there but the chest wall thing seems to be exactly as you said and it can last aALL day right into the night but it never stops me from sleeping. It does scare me because it is SHARP pains right in the middle of my chest (between the breasts) and boy..it IS scary. I am forever greatful to you for replying. You need to know that you have made someone who has a very nervous personality, not so nervous.thanks so much again! jemmz
