Chest Pain: These could be symptoms of anxiety, however, they are the same symptoms that could be associated with a heart attack. You should see a doctor to help sort out which it was. There are many variables that would make it more likely to be anxiety, but to be safe, heart attack must be ruled out by a physician.
