Chest Pain! Help

Hey guys. I'm having some chest pain that's making me really anxious. So, it's like in the middle of my chest. Close to my heart. And sometimes it feels like the pain is crawling up my neck and also around my collar bone. It's like a dull, sharp pain if that makes sense? I read online that those could be symtpoms of a heart attack, so now I'm scared. I've had this chest pain on and off for a few days. I can barely feel any pain when I walk around though. It's mainly when I'm sitting.

I went to the hospital about 2 months ago where they did bloodwork, EKG, and chest ray, and everything came back normal. I also went to my primary a few days ago where they did bloodwork, but I think they were testing for anemia. Which turns out I'm still anemic. My doctors tell me I shouldn't worry, and that it's just anxiety. But I cant help but worry.

I've been good for a few days in a row now which is unusual lately, but this chest pain has me worried.

It's always something causing my anxiety. Whether it be heart palps, weird breathing, and now this chest pain that really concentrated at the center of my chest.

Any suggestions? Or does anyone else have concentrated center chest pain with anxiety?

      Possibly acid reflux. Or just anxiety. It's mostly gone now, thank goodness. I'm sorry you are going through the same. It's pretty scary. I want to believe the doctors but in so scared they missed something.

      My wife under similar circumstances was told that 55% of patients coming to A&E with chest pain are not suffering from heart problems and was discharged after an overnight stay. She went to her GP two days later and he correctly diagnosed a duodenal ulcer.
