Hi padre. Yes, I've had those as well. It's pretty common, in fact, for most people with anxiety. If you've had your heart checked and everything's ok, I would highly recommend taking an anti-anxiety medication like Lexapro or Celexa. I take Lexapro and it has diminished the frequency and severity of my chest pains. Just be sure to give it a couple of weeks to load into your system, but once it does, you'll probably see a substantial improvement. I still get them occasionally when I'm really stressed out, but generally not to the point to where I think I'm dying. I know a lot of people are scared to take medications, but there comes a point when you have to weigh it out in your mind. Would I rather swallow a pill each day, or live in perpetual pain and fear? For me, it was a pretty obvious choice. I say better living through pharmacology. Hope you feel better soon.
