I have chest pains every single day along with neck, arm, shoulder, and back pain. If you have had your heart checked out and they have assured you that your heart is fine, then you are fine. Ive learned to deal with the pains and chest pains even though they are very bothersome! I have terrible chest pains that I think may be muscle related, and I know other times they are anxiety related. Ive been having them since I was 15 and I am now 26 so chest pains are so normal to me. My mom gets them as well but she doesn't have anxiety (she once did though...) she just came to the conclusion it is muscle related because of her job. A lot of things can cause chest pain and anxiety is probably one of the biggest causes! It is scary because of the whole heart attack thing, but really, how likely are you to have a heart attack? This is what I ask myself when Im having them. I tell myself I am fine and move on, sometimes I even take an aspirin to see if it goes away!
wishing you the best!!
