@mikquack Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. You will notice that I changed the title of your discussion. I did this to make it easier for members like you to connect.

It sounds like you have had chest pain since March. You are seeking appropriate medical care but the cause of your symptoms has not been determined.

May I ask if any provider mentioned anxiety as a cause of your pain? Anxiety, panic disorders, etc. can cause intense physical symptoms and pain. No, I'm not saying it is in your head. If it were anxiety, your pain would be no less valid. I'm just wondering if you and your providers have explored this as a possibility?

Yes that has been brought up but this is a constant pain and I’ve had anxiety for years. I also tried Ativan and that didn’t help
