I deal with heart pain just about daily with my PTSD and I found this article on the subject. Emotional pain can cause bad chest pain like I feel all around my heart. I don't feel it in my actual heart but all around it. It hurts pretty bad sometimes. My PTSD has now taken a physical turn like never before in the past. This is the article about emotional pain causing physical pain.

I just had another ECG for chest pains done. The pain is worrisone and at times has funny random heartbeats slow then very fast then slow. Over the past few years all the EKG and holter 24hr monitor showed nothing. I rub voltaren cream on my chest, i massage, i breathe, still it hurts. Just like how you described it is around the heart, for me it also center of chest.

Thanks for article.

Right now its in back of my chest and it hurts badly. I wan't to cry but deep breaths is all I can do at work. Excruciating pain has been their from 17-now. I wasn't in excruciating pain in my 30's for a short while, but they tortured me again so it's back. I didn't start hearing voices though this time they tortured me. I guess my childhood trauma they took advantage of is healed better than when I was a kid this time around. Excruciating pain it is. It don't mentally bother me like it did back at as a kid because I try not to think about the causes of the pain and just endure it now. When I think about the human malice and the deceptiveness of the people who get off on being two faced and deceitful in power it makes me suffer 1000 times more, so I separate the pain from the cause in order to survive on a daily basis.
I didn't think anything about heart problems as I was young when it started or I would have been to the hospital several times, but it has gone on from 17 on so I know it is just the effects of psychological torture. Deep breaths help me. It is in the back of my heart a lot. Daily I deal with this like you do. It is painful and I am sorry for your suffering. It was gone from like 33-38 minus about 5 months at 35 when I had a ptsd breakdown then. It was almost daily from 17-33, and not it is daily again from 38-41-????? I was anti-psychotics that made me drool and basically non functional I was capable of very little in life and was on disability at the time, but it didn't stop it just made it feel more dull. Living with pain has been a constant for me after the government and wienstein/epstein guys got a hold of underage non-consensual porn was made of me from 15-16. They gave me a life of pain for a graduation presant from high school and made sure it would never get better as long as I live. I am one person and they are many with many resources that most people do not have access to. I am alone and they are many. This has caused so much psychological and emotional pain my body feels it on a daily basis. Deep breaths is all I know to do. I don't think there is anything else.
 
Does grounding help?
I know when it hurts it is hard to think of anything else but to breathe and survive through the pain. In my head i think i will die. I told my doc.

Just got ECG back. Normal. I was not feeling any pain or funny beats during test.

I had the back pain before. It feels like a cramp and someone driving their hands into my back.

Deep breathing and curling up in fetal position helps me ride it out.

Sorry to hear you have struggled and endured this pain for so long. Hopefully we can figure out by sharing.
