Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Stress and anxiety appear more likely as a cause for your chest pain.
But better to rule out heart diseases first.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If both are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Stress and anxiety can cause similar kind of chest pain.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counseling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
