Hello dear, thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. I can understand your situation and problem. Since your extensive cardiac work up is normal, no need to worry much for cardiac cause for your chest pain. Your chest x-ray is also normal, so pulmonary cause is also ruled out. In your case anxiety and HERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) can be the cause for chronic chest pain. GERD is due to laxity of gastroesophageal sphincter. Because of this the acid of the stomach tends to come up in the esophagus and cause the symptoms. Anxiety can aggravate HERD. So proper treatment of anxiety is needed. So we need to first rule out anxiety in your case. Consult psychiatrist for this.Don't worry, you will be alright.
