Help!!! Anxiety

Hi. I don't know if it's anxiety related or GERD but I have been experiencing burning sensation on my upper left chest and pain in left arm  after physical activities like walking or when stressed since 1 week..I did several  ecg, echo and blood tests but everything is perfectly fine.. I was put on 10 mg inderal for 20 days and started seeing a  psychologist Which made me feel much better and I stopped inderal... But each time I get the chest and arm pain, I panic and start having all kinds of thoughts.. Help please

I have no idea if this is an injury or what, but it doesn't sound like GERD.

Hello!
This is exactly what happens when I get anxious. First of all if you've had all these tests then it's clear you are healthy but I know from personal experience this sometimes doesn't stop us from getting worried, but maybe you could tell yourself this when you do feel anxious? A fact that helped me when I had these symptoms and I began to worry about heart attacks etc. Is that 2 out of 3 people that get taken to hospital for a heart attack is actually just anxiety. Maybe when these thoughts happen you should try to distract yourself by doing something you enjoy like drawing etc. Or tell someone this always helps me because I can begin to realise that I'm being a bit irrational. Trust me if they were anything serious you know for sure by now so try to relax:)
Hoped this helped you.
