Hello,
Welcome to HCM,

Your symptoms like restlessness and pain in legs, fear in chest and disturbed sleep point towards some disorders.
First is generalised anxiety disorder. In this there is restlessness, sleeplessness, muscle pain, sweating, tremors etc. There is anxious feeling whole day. As you have normal b.p. and thyroid, i would also advise you to get an ECG done. This will rule out common medical causes for anxiety disorder. The drugs for anxiety disorder are sertraline, escitalopram etc.
Second is restless leg syndrome or pwriodic limb movement disorder. In this there is pain and muscle spasms in legs especially in night during sleeping. Please go for kidney function tests as this impaired kidney functions can be the cause.
The drugs for this disorder are pramipexole.

You can take tablet rivotril for sleep when needed.

Please talk to your doctor about this.
Thanks.
