Samsara555 Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 I was with a girl for almost 3 years, a girl who by all all intensive purposes was my soulmate. We had a pretty messy break-up back in October of last year, all over long distance too, and due to a variety of reasons which I won't go into now. It took a while to get away from the heartache and longing that people do after a pretty serious breakup, a lot of me contacting her but also her contacting me, even though she had recently gotten married. However, we had finally gotten to a point of 4-5 months with no contact and I was totally fine with it. When we did break up back in October, I had some serious chest pains during the initial days. They lasted for a good 4-5 days, and it literally felt like I had an anvil on my chest, and that my heart would stop at any moment. I read up online about physical symptoms of a breakup like this, and it seems it can happen. They subsided after a few days though which was a relief. My ex messaged me yesterday. After that, the entire day I had the worst chest pains I have ever had. I almost went to the doctor, but I'm a healthy and fairly young guy, and put 2 and 2 together with the fact my ex had messaged me after all of this time. I decided to take her up on her offer of talking just to catch up. After talking for an hour on the phone, I felt content and relieved (no delusions of the future and have made peace with things) but also the pain on my chest had disappeared. Love is truly a crazy intense thing, and yes I still love her and always will do, I know she feels the same, but I am content with the fact that we will never be together. I feel I have finally made peace with the situation. Have you ever had any crazy physical symptoms during a relationship or during a breakup?
d0nnivain Posted August 11, 2018 Posted August 11, 2018 You broke up 10 months ago & she's already MARRIED to somebody else. Geesh. Do not take her phone calls when she contacts you again. The chest pain you experience is an anxiety or panic attack. Sometimes they have physical symptoms. It's your body telling you this girl is no good. It's like the fight or flight response primitive humans got that gave them the adrenaline boost to run from dinosaurs.
