I’m worried about my heart I’m 21 and have health anxiety.

I would ask your primary care doctor to check your lipoprotein (a) score and your calcium score through blood work. Those two scores are a good indicator of heart disease. You need a good cardiologist, and you certainly have time on your side. Good luck.

What, or whom, will you believe? This is your principal question, isn't it? If several well-intentioned health care professionals have assured you that your heart reads normal, wouldn't that suggest that you have other problems, maybe a generalized anxiety (there is such a disorder, but I'm not suggesting that's where we're headed...)?

It might be worth it to YOU to have a health professional order a Holter Monitor for you to wear at least overnight, issued in the mid-afternoon, and turned in to the office the next day, usually near noon. But, if it shows nothing of concern, would you then convince yourself that you needed to wear it just one more day?

@songoku32 Hmm, with all physical issues ruled out, perhaps your anxiety is the cause of the intermittent pain?

You are at a very difficult point in life, just finding your way into adulthood, getting education or an occupation, etc. Rather than visiting the ER, how about a visit to your primary physician. Get a complete physical, and talk to them about your anxiety. They can refer you to someone who can teach you self-calming techniques like controlled breathing, and maybe consider a mild anti-anxiety med.

Some other things you can do to improve your overall health, and distract yourself from worrying include:
Maintain a healthy diet, and avoid alcohol, caffeine (in soda, coffee and energy drinks.)
To keep your heart healthy, limit fast food, pizza, ramen noodles and concentrate on fresh fruits and vegetable and lean protein.
Don't smoke or vape ANYTHING.
Get regular exercise - nothing extreme - cycling, brisk walking, skateboarding, swimming... Socialize with friends or family.
Limit gaming and time on social media or watching TV to and hour or two a day so you have time for healthy activity.
Try to develop a passion for something that will keep you so busy you don't have time to worry!

Good point I’ll def ask

It can be musculoskeletal. I've had chest pain from that.

Thanks it could be a lot of things, it comes and goes

There may be a very simple explanation, and you are worrying needlessly.

Have you had a complete physical by your regular provider? That is the very best thing you can do to solve the puzzle.
