Anxiety: It sounds like you've been working with your doctor to assess your physical health, and feel clear now that anxiety is most likely the cause of your chest sensations. Your next step is to find a good therapist who knows cognitive behavioral therapy -- and possibly mindfulness-based cbt also -- to work with. These therapies can be very effective, and may help you more over time than clonazepam.

Have cardiac ;: Other medical causes been completely rule out? If yes, would consider psychiatric evaluation to determine if you do in fact have an anxiety disorder. This can lead to a helpful treatment plan. Take care.
