Chest pain: chest pain, if cardiac related, should not respond to anti-anxiety meds unless your anxiety is very high to cause cardiovascular problems. would still have your heart evaluated to get a definitive diagnosis

Most likely anxiety: You should see your primary care physician to rule out cardiac issues. They can check your EKG and refer to a cardiologist if inconclusive.
