Why does stress cause aching in the heart and the left hand?
Oct 26, 2015

Dr. Georges Karam Psychiatry
Stress releases a hormone in the body that can affect several organs including the heart and lungs. If you have an anxiety attack, you can feel chest pain, heart racing (beating fast), tingling in your hands, chocking...
These symptoms are bothersome but they are not scary.
HOWEVER, it is important to have a cardiac check up the first time that happens to rule out a cardiac reason.
Good luck!
