Hello. I went to ER in early march for chest pains. They tried to say pericarditis or anxiety. Sent home with benzos. Needless to say I've been to ER 7 times since, a physician three times, psych ward once. Cardiologist once. They did blood test, EKG, CT scan. Supposedly normal. They refused stress test. I've had no relief. I know it's anxiety as lorezepam never fixed it. I'm desperate and live in pretty isolated town. Wanting to try ER or doctor in different town. My chest pain is constantly on my left side and I've no idea what's causing it but desperate for answers.

    My wife was told that 50% of people going to A&E in the UK never have a reason found for their chest pain.There are many non cardiac reasons for the pain.

      This is true. I do wonder what it could be. Ive taken tranquilizer drugs for anxiety and nothing. I know its not anxiety, Its just overall really weird. Im thin and naturally underweight despite eating twice as much as most people. Im pretty young, dont work out often but do walk frequently. Just straing these symptoms would surface. Curious what a non-cadiac reason for chest pain besides anxiety or heart burn could be.
