Severe Anxiety Gas/Burps/Heartburn

I am having extremely debilitating anxiety right now. Mild chest discomfort but I focus in on it so much that it becomes unbearable. I am always aware of my heartbeat and like above I focus in to it where it just drives me insane. I am expereincing undescribable levels of discomfort and I just dont understand whats wrong with me. My heart rate throughout the day is 90-100 bpm resting, and it shoots up even when I do simple tasks such as walking. Ive been to a cardiologist and they did several tests and said everything was there and in working order but my pictures were "blurry" so that definately just increased my anxiety 10 fold. A long with this, I was told to wear a hear monitor for a month which did nothing except increase it even more, and I did not even wear the monitor in the end. The strangest symptons though are just constant vibrations or movements in my intestinal area, bad heart burn, bad gas, and a feeling like I have to burp but just cant. Im hoping that my heart is fine and the feelings are just from my focusing on it too much, but I just dont know. Can anyone relate to this? Its been 3 months and I cant even sleep anymore.

Im 48 yr old male experiencing same symptoms, had multiple test, EKG's,heart monitor tests, etc, tried almost every kind of med as Ive had this get worst through out the years, I had suffered lung damage to an exposure to Lorsban Pesticide at work.Most of these symptoms started AFTER I quit smoking pot after 43 years of use, after talking to a doctor who suggested that I return to pot, I have reluctantly decided to follow his advice.  Currently atm im having one of these episodes and it seems to cycle off and on.But I do feel pot helps me relax, I guess Im posting this as my "internet diary" of my symptoms and solutions
