Can u please give your insight to what u think it MAY b from this small amt. of info? Thank U!! Sandy
Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your concern. In my opinion, she is mostly having stress related chest pain. But better to rule out heart related pain. So get done ECG. If ECG is normal then no need to worry about heart diseases. Stress and anxiety appear more likely in her case. So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in her life and start working on its solution. She may need anxiolytic Chat Doctor.  Counselling is very important along with
