More info needed: When were you last seen by your physician? If you are having chest pain you must be seen promptly. If the pain is associated with increased perspiration or pain migrating to your arm or jaw, you must be seen emergently. If your chest pain is associated with taking a deep breath, or difficulty breathing you should still be seen as soon as possible. Feel better.

Unlikey cardiac: You likely have costochondritis but since xanax (alprazolam) helps, anxiety is also a concern. Try some nsaids such as Ibuprofen with food and see a doctor if you are not better.
