Hello.
I would suggest you to first identify the specific times you get the pain, whether it is just when you are anxious or it occurs even when you are not anxious.
If you get the pain only when you are anxious, then it is likely to be psychosomatic. In this case, you would have to consult a psychologist.
However, if it's there even when you are not anxious, then you need to seek opinion from a general physician to understand the cause of the pain.
Next Steps
Identify the time of the pain and then seek help from a counselling psychologist or a general physician based on the result.
Health Tips
Do consult a psychologist for anxiety.
