If my chest pains and palpitations while sleeping are because of something wrong with my heart would ativan (lorazepam) make them go away? i take .5mg twice a day

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.
