Your doctor: Your primary care physician would be your best resource. Anxiety and somatization are to be considered in the differential. Medication adjustments are to be considered also.

Chest pain: There are many causes of chest pain, the heart is one, intestinal gas and thoracic musculoskeletal pains are very common, anxiety and panic attacks likewise are frequent causes. You should always ask the doctors who see you what they think is the problem you came for and what to do about it.
