My chest pains endedup being anxiety. At first they were bad enough to head to hospital.
Once there they would deminish. After taking a chemically induced stress test it was revealed. Next time you feel it try a cup of black coffee. Caffine counters it as demonstrated in the hospital. You made need a medicine like me for managing stress. It will also help to curb flares.

I will certainly try that. My 77-year old mother has dementia, and I am her primary care giver. STRESS is real.

It is really frustrating because the pains are real. I have made up my mind to tell my doctor that he had better keep testing and looking for the problem because it will be too late when I fall out dead.

I have had my heart tested with a stress test, an echocardiogram, an EKG, and blood work. They all show no indication that it is my heart.
