I'm really worried about my friend who's been having some chest pain lately. She's also experiencing breathlessness, headaches at the back, and shoulder pain for the past few months. I'm wondering if this could be stress-related and what she can do to get some relief.

the symptoms of stress-induced chest pain can include breathlessness, headache, and shoulder pain. To help relieve these symptoms, your friend can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen for headache and muscle pain. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or meditation can help reduce stress levels. It is also important for your friend to address the underlying stressors causing the chest pain, possibly through therapy or counseling. If the symptoms persist or worsen, it is advisable to consult a healthcare professional for further evaluation and management.
