Anxiety can cause chest pain in otherwise healthy people.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
2 sources for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that anxiety can cause chest pain in otherwise healthy people?

Partly. Two clinical sources indicate anxiety can manifest as or be a cause of chest discomfort, though one is a paediatric case with serious underlying pathology and the other concerns a chest-pain cohort rather than healthy people. One case report describes an anxious adolescent whose chest pain proved to have an organic cause, cutting against attributing such pain to anxiety.
