i have anxiety and have heart pain everyday . is this ok?

Accepted Answer

"OK?": What do you mean by "ok?"  of course it's not okay, if it is causing you ongoing distress. Assuming you have had a medical exam and know the "heart pain" is due to anxiety and not a medical condition (if you have not had a medical exam, you should asap)... If you are asking whether it is life threatening, the answer is no.  But you don't have to live with it.  See a mental health professional.
