What you describe are common symptoms of anxiety/panic.  You need to reassure yourself that FEAR is not FACT.  You have scientific, FACTUAL proof that your heart is okay.  You've had very thorough testing done.

What are you doing to address the anxiety?  Therapy?  Medication?

Your BP was still high at the Drs even though you're on meds for it? They may have to increase your dose or try you on another one.
The muscle pain could be more on the outside. If you had chest wall muscle pain that would feel deep though.
How long have you been on Celexa?

It might be muscle pain. Is the pain deep inside or more on the outside? Does the pain only happen when you're feeling very anxious or having a panic attack? Do certain foods make the pain worse?
Like Nursegirl said, you're having anxiety symptoms. But, it's best to get things checked out when you have any kind of pain. You've had an echo and stress test. Was it a walking stress test or a medically induced one?
