Hi Lovelife - I have muscle and joint pains mostly in the upper body, mostly left sided, and have developed migraine. I had a preexisting condition that caused a lot of chest pain, and still does. Unfortunately, depression can magnify physical symptoms of aches and pains and make them much harder to cope with.
Depression and anxiety often go hand in hand, and each can make the other worse so it can be a vicious circle. What you describe above sounds like it might be anxiety related - sometimes we can hyperventilate without being aware of it and that can cause some of the symptoms you describe, as well as lightheadedness; however, I think you should definitely see your doctor if you are actually fainting.
