Thank you for highlighting such a common problem, which many patients at the clinic also have.
Chest discomfort, tingling sensation over the limbs, aches and pains, can certainly be attributed to anxiety and depression. Nevertheless, it is important to seek medical attention so that other medical problems like an underling heart condition can be excluded.
For anxiety issues, it will be good to learn to practise a relaxation technique on a daily basis. If your stress stems mainly from your work, you can try writing down all the tasks that you need to perform, and then prioritise them, sorting out the important or urgent ones first. Many patients of mine find this a useful strategy as they stop fearing that they will forget to perform some tasks or work.
Going for long walks may also be useful in relieving one's anxiety. There are many parks in Singapore and most of them are pretty scenic and pleasing to the eyes. Choose a park that is near your house so that you can incorporate walks in the park into their lifestyle. When you are in nature, do remember to immerse yourself in it by focusing on the tress, flowers and vegetation around you.
Wish you a speedy recovery. Take good care of your mental health.
