I know the feeling. I went to the emergency room with chest pains and they thought it was from anxiety. I get chest pains all the time. About 4 years ago I had my chest opened up and they replaced my aortic valve with a mechanical aortic valve. I have to take blood thinners for the rest of my life and every month have my blood checked for thickness. Anyway I had my Psych give me a prescription for Ativan (Lorazepam) which seemed to help my anxiety. I also take Percocet (Oxycodone) and Tramadol everyday for my back pain that helps the chest pain along with Effexor (Venlafaxine) and Wellbutrin (Bupropion) to cope with my depression and Combat PTSD that I'm not sure if it helps my chest pain or not. I have been taking these for 5 years.
