Chest pain: The description of your pain is not of heart origin. It's most likely nerve type pain. In the us, it is commonly referred to anxiety, but this is the kind of pain that is benign in nature. Try to breath deep and less frequent and through your nose. Also, may take to focus on breathing rather than on pain.
