Sorry you're dealing with that. With anxiety, any chest discomfort seems to trigger us to assume it's our heart. Most likely the pain is just muscle tension from being anxious. If you just need peace of mind, have a doctor check you out. Reassurance that everything is fine can do wonders to help anxiety. Try a heating pad, or some muscle ache lotion with camphor or menthol in it. There are some good guided relaxation videos on YouTube as well. They really help me de-stress when I get anxious and have chest pains. You're going to be just fine. Think of anything you can to relax and take your mind off of it. I'll bet that pain will go away if you can channel that worry into more positive thoughts. Hope you feel better soon. -Jeff
