Chest pains: The only way to know for sure between anxiety and a medical disorder is to see your doctor. Chest pains need to be taken seriously so please see him/her. If your anxiety level interferes w/function or comfort level please get help from a clinical psychologist who can teach you some stress management. Peace and good health.
