    . Strangely enough I get those too but I often find it's related to my gerd and if I can take an antacid or a papaya pill and helps relieve it you may want to try it anxiety is awful on your digestive system

      In gerd is not the same as heartburn a lot of people say it is but it's when you're esophageal muscles spasm up underneath your breast bone causing the pain that radiates out that's what I find with mine

      I have done a lot of check up for heart last month I did a heart event monitor which was clear last week a did a clacium score scan normal too! Last time I was in ER was 10 days ago they did ekg blood work and said results were normal ,,, so I'm just relating with anxiety but still with this persistent chest pain gets me so worried

      I'm presuming EKG is the same as ECG!If you're really still concerned then ask for an MRI put your mind at rest. X

      What great news! All your cardiac tests were normal. Now you have nothing to worry about, heart-wise.

      Glad to read this, Aria.
