Hello,
The possibility of cardiac chest pain is very less because you have normal ECG. Sometimes stress and anxiety can also cause a similar kind of chest pain. Lorazepam is also given as anxiolytic. So if your chest pain is due to stress, anxiety then lorazepam will definitely work. So you should take lorazepam and avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these. You can also apply warm water pad on affected areas of the chest.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
