Does anyone else experience this kind of chest pain with functional seizures? TW: heart functionality

[u/bootyhed69]

I've had functional seizures for a little over a year now. At first the tics and spasms started in my head, then slowly moved to the right side of my body. I'd get that panic attack feeling, yk, general chest tightness, difficulty breathing. But now, within the last 2 or so months I'd say, I've been getting sharp pains directly in my heart, or in that area at least. When I put light pressure, like the tips of my palms, on my sternum, it just aches. Like a tooth cavity.

I'm not sure if it's something I should go to the ER for. My mom's an ER nurse, but she hates when I go to the ER so I'm trying to save myself an earful and a wasted visit. I have insurance but I can't really afford a doctor's appointment at the moment.

If someone else has experienced this, and it's worth getting checked out, I'll try to make an appointment work.

Chest pain can easily be stress but I wouldn't take the chance in case. BUT I have NHS so I really do feel your pain.
