Chest pains

9 months ago I had my first panic attack. It started with a sharp pain in the middle of my chest. I went to the doctors and they said it's anxiety. 2 months later I went back as I was still getting pains and dull aches in my chest. They done blood tests and I had an ECG. They are came back normal and the doctor still said it's just anxiety. Since then I keep going back to the doctors as I still get pains. They still say it's anxiety. I feel like they just don't care and what if it's not anxiety??the pains come and go and seem to go when I am busy and not thinking about them. Does anyone else get chest pains nearly on a daily basis? Please help.

Hello

I went to the doctor a few weeks ago since my last post. He said after examining me that it is anxiety. He said he can 99% say it's not my heart.

This makes me feel a lot better. I have found I haven't felt as many chest pains since this diagnosis. When I do feel a niggle I just say to myself it's not my heart and to try and take my mind off it.
