You need to see the proper specialists to make sure you're healthy, not just your GP.  Your anger and unhappiness may be due to anxiety and depression, so you need to see a psychiatrist for help with this. There is help for you and you need to take advantage of it.

Hi....Anxiety can and does present with these type of symptoms, but we always want to make sure there are no other underlying causes for your symptoms first. The first thing I would do is see a cardiologist to make sure everything is okay, since you are still having the heaviness and pain in your chest on one side.  If all is okay then it's time to address your anxiety. Therapy would be beneficial but a lengthy process so medication would help you through this time.  See a psychiatrist so the two of you can determine the best course of treatment for you.  I hope knowing you're not alone helps, and you can and will feel better with the proper help. Try to keep yourself busy both mentally and physically....exercise is great for anxiety, even if just walking. We're always here for you!  Best wishes and take care.
