Please tell me whether chest pain on and off for weeks is my anxiety or serious problem?

Specializes in Cardiology

You need check up.: Chest pain in someone your age should never be taken lightly. You teed a check up including a history, physical exam, and appropriate testing such as an EKG. It could be a serious problem and even if not, until you are checked, it will worsen your anxiety.
