On going chest pain

I’m a 24 year old female that has been suffering with left sided chest pain for the last 4 years.

The pain is a sharp stabbing pain, that comes and goes. I seem to have episodes that last for around a couple of weeks. I am an anxiety sufferer so when I get these pains in makes me very anxious and it’s all I can think about and contentrate on.

I’ve had ECG and chest X-ray that both came back clear. 

I’m now 18 weeks pregnant which is worrying me more as I’m getting these makes me making myself stressed.

I really don’t know where else to turn, I’ve seen numerous GP’s over the years and just don’t know where else to turn.

    Hey Katie,

    It sounds a lot like something I've been having as well (although I've only been having it for 7-8 months). I don't have any answers for you (I too got a bunch of tests, all came clear, and am anxiety prone), but hopefully it helps to know that you're not alone in it. I know at least one other person I've met on here that suffers from the same thing. I wish I had more answers but from my perspective it seems to me that if you've had it for 4 years and something was genuinely really wrong, it almost without a doubt would have been found by now (especially if it was a heart and lung issue).
