Didn't one of your Docs give you Nitro for this? I do understand the the anxiety, the fear of chest pain and what it means. (I couldn't see all of your post on my mobile) Ok got it. Anxiety itself can cause what you are feeling. Don't have any Anti-Anxiety meds? This happens to me too. I use Tums or generic antacids when my chest hurts & that makes that pain stop! Do you have a psychiatric doctor?
