Chest pain: Step one is seeing your doctor. Step two is seeing a clinical psychologist for anxiety management training. Step three is some self-help such as practicing the Relaxation Response www.relaxationresponse.org. Peace and good health.

Anxiety: Cognitive behavioral therapy is widely available and your physician may be able to help get you out of any abusive / impossible situations. At your age, chest pain is most likely to be musculoskeletal and the anxiety due to this pain. Your physician can help you sort all of this out.
