According to Dr. Maurizion Fava, Director of Clinical Research Program, nonrestorative sleep is a key indicator for increased anxiety and depression. These symptoms can be related to lung and heart problems. Chronic chest pain is linked to individuals who have depression or are experiencing anxiety.
If you're having chest pain it is important to see a doctor for heart or lung disease. If the heart is fine then you will need to find treatment or therapy to improve your mental health.

Part of this could be explained by cultural constraints on talking about mood and depressive feelings, but part of it is likely that depression, well, hurts. So why do they coexist? A lot of scientific work has been done on this question, and it's producing some interesting results.
A review of the science in found that there are a few physical links between pain and depression that may explain what happens in the bodies of people with depression. One is that antidepressants involving shifting the levels of serotonin, a neural transmitter, in the brain also seem to help pain levels.
That indicates that low serotonin levels, which have been thought to relate to depression for a long time, might also cause pain issues in the body. Another link? Inflammation, the biological response to potential threats and illnesses. In many depressed people, levels of inflammation are higher than usual. Depression is often associated with painful emotional states like sadness, irritability, and guilt, but it can also cause physical symptoms, like back pain and headaches.
In fact, more than two-thirds of patients with depression experience pain. The emotional symptoms of depression, such as sadness and feelings of worthlessness, are associated with abnormal levels of two chemicals in the brain called serotonin and norepinephrine. One study shows that abnormal levels of serotonin and norepinephrine are also associated with pain. Serotonin is important for our emotional response, mood, sleep, learning, and how we perceive pain.
Low levels of serotonin in the brain may affect its ability to provide pain relief. Early research suggests that antidepressants that increase the concentration of serotonin and norepinephrine in the brain may be used as first-line treatments in depressed patients who are experiencing physical pain.
Transcranial magnetic stimulation TMS is a medication-free treatment alternative to antidepressants. TMS is FDA-approved to treat depression and multiple clinical trials show that it is safe and effective for treating chronic pain and migraines. An analysis of five clinical trials reveals that TMS is effective in treating migraines.
However, more research is needed to assess the efficacy of TMS in treating migraines compared to traditional treatments. Wallace Video Parathyroid Caffeine and depression: Is there a link?
