I am female 31 yrs old. So here goes...I'll try to keep it short with some left out unnecessary details. So i was under A LOT of stress and heartache end of last year beginning of thisyear. Apt my job due to stress back in feb. End of Feb. I was chipped up in my room for a month crying and all sorts of things. Come the end of feb. I got chest pains and tingling/numbness in left arm. I went to e.r., they said i was gone and it was anxiety. It kept coming back. Pains in arms and chest. Over the next few months i got a new job and meet the most wonderful man and my stress/depression went waaay down. I was content. Until my chest pains came back. They came back with arm pain a well. Wrong to the doctor, did i had a messed up rotator cuff. Ok that MAY explain my arm/shoulder pain. Things didn't get better. Chest pain started to move and it's honestly just scary everyday even when i don't feel it. I'm so overwhelmed. The pain moved into my back now on the left side with some neck pain a well. I MAY have injured it at work so, ok that's finei can deal with that, but the chest pains won't go away. I've had 3 ekgs and nothing came up. I have no insurance so I've been waiting WEEKS to get financial help for a stress test. In "stressed" out now damnit lol. I feel like i have a heart condition and feel like i could have a great attack any minute. It doesn't go away with rest and sometimes comes in with rest. I've missed tons of work due to also having an anxiety disorder since i was 13 so all of this has worsened it. I'm so afraid I'll push my bf away because I'm just in pain all the time and anxious. He's been SO SO good to me tho and helping me. Maybe that's just my paranoia. Anyway my pain has no real cause as far as my chest. It wasn't until tonight, thanksgiving, that i may have a connection? It "flared up" by the end of the night. We all were laughing really hard and having a great time. W wentto bed early and i just tried to deal with it. Here i am, awoken by it sitting in the bathroom crying winding what happened after it being ok for almost2 days of being off (i did work a weird shift lady night before thanksgiving, 6pm to 230am t-day). Idk. I'm at my wits end and my phone must think I'm a hypochondriac a far a trying to look up all these symptoms for months now. Any ideas? Angina? Costochontritis? Ulcer? Fibromyalgia? I'm suffering and want to feel healthy again. I'm too young for this and now that i have someone good in my life and my life has eased up, i want my body to feel the same way. I can't do thisanymore.

    I don't want to frighten you, but I agree it may be your heart. 

    ?You could be having an electrical issue, my husband had an electrical issue that took months to pick up, 15months, this went on, constantly complaining to Dr, and also cardiologist, left bicep pain, suspected rotator cuff issue, then suspected torn muscles in arm, then arthritis in shoulder, and even a pinched nerve in his neck, all came back negative with tests.

    ?If only I had thought to get a fitbit, that records his heartbeat pattern, you can then download that to your computer and look at normal times, (No pain, and then download when you are having an issue with pain, any difference in the FIT BIT results would be well worth showing to you Dr)  it would have been picked up long before it was, as ECG, and blood pressure came back normal every time they tested him, but that is only a few minutes on any one given day.

    ?Husbands pain was from his heart beating very slowly, but it as only occasionally that this issue happened, then one morning his heart started going very slowly constantly, at home, took him to the hospital, they worked out what was going on and installed a pacemaker, bicep pain, shoulder pain, ALL GONE, that is now nearly two years ago now, he is out mowing the lawns at the moment, can hear the noise the lawnmower is making.

    I hope they find the cause and can take care of it in time. I searched chest pain because I have it as well. I've been severely depressed and my heart issues have been getting worse. The doctors don't seem to acknowledge my concerns. They don't listen. But, they gladly take your money. I've been at the point of giving up several times as I have nobody with me. I'd have to call an ambulance if things got bad. Problem is, this in between thing is stressful. I'd like either one extreme or the other. Not this purgatory of pain and anxiety.

    Best of luck to you, I hope your doctors are better than mine. Try to de-stress, keep calm, relax if possible.
