Normal tests but: your gut feeling should not be ignored. Keep a journal about the symptoms that you feel indicate a heart problem. Perhaps it is a sense you get when waking up at night, related to a sleep disorder or autonomic instability, for example. ou may notice a pattern that will help your doctor to determine the need for further testing or to be able to effectively reassure you

Unlikely: Given you age as well as your GAD, it is unlikely that your chest discomfort is due to your heart. You have also had a pretty extensive work up for such a young person. Please seek help with cognitive behavioral therapy as well as maybe medication. Wish you the best.
