Sharp pain : The heart rarely causes sharp pain. You should see a doctor. Very common reasons for chest pain is GERD, anxiety, gastritis, chest wall pain. The heart can cause chest symptoms, shortness of breath. and is worse with activity. Anxiety can make someone feel anything

Chest Pain: Chest pain needs to be evaluated by your doctor. Once that is done your anxiety will lower but you need to learn to manage panic and anxiety. A clinical psychologist can help w/that. Peace and good health. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help also.
