What Causes Left-sided Pain In Chest And Jaw Pain?

Hello, I have had chest pains for over a year now. I have taken many tests, ecg and stress test, cardiac echography, blood tests for ck and troponin, all came back negative. Thinking it was GERD they, gave me Pantoprazol but its not doing anything, i have numbness in my jaw and pain is located through my left chest . I have been to the emergency twice in the last week and everytime they keep sending me back blaming it on anxiety attacks. What is going on with me, i am terrified..

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since your extensive cardiac work up is normal, no need to worry much for cardiac cause.
In my opinion, your symptoms are mostly related to anxiety only. And anxiety is the cause for worsening GERD. So we need to control anxiety and GERD symptoms will itself resolved.
So consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in your life. And start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too.
So avoid stress and tension.
Be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
