Hello......... Thanks for your query. It is possible that you are suffering from panic attacks that manifest as chest pain, palpitations and pain symptoms. An ECG is required to rule out cardiac causes. If normal, further assessment by a psychiatrist is essential. Anti-anxiety medication as well as psychotherapy would be useful in this regard. Wish you speedy recovery. Regards Dr Sundar Gnanavel Psychiatrist
