Chest Pains

Ok, I am a 26 year old mother of two children. I have
experienced chest pains off and on for the last 4 years.
They are sometimes just a real sharp pain that does not
radiate down my arm, but is just in my chest, and I usually only
have one of those at a time. Every once
in awhile I have pains that last off and on throughout the day.
When these happen they are not real sharp pains, but just
a noticable pain in the chest area. I notice that my pains
usually happen when I am in the sitting position, but not
always. When I take walks (and especially when I am
walking up a hill) I make it a point to pay attention to
whether or not I have a pain and I never have had
any of the pains during exertion, so I was just wondering
what in the world this could be!? I have had a history of
anxiety attacks so you can imagine when I have these
pains, they send me into a frenzy thinking I am going to die!
I am currently taking 10 mg of Paxil daily.
Any advice you can give would be greatly appreciated. Thank
you ......Kristine
