If you have got your hardest clear, then probably it’s anxiety and stress, and of course you know when we lay down. We hyper focus on this thing when we hyper focus it kind of exaggerate so it’s better that you take some therapy and counselling regarding it. talk about your stress or how to deal with this false alarm so that you’re able to lead a better quality of life, you can consult me for therapy and counselling all the best.

Pain, esp. Chest pain is a rather common symptom experienced in anxiety state. The fact that it is being relieved with anti anxiety medications, also points to the fact that the two are related.
A proper evaluation by a skilled psychiatrist, alongside investigations to rule out any other physical causes may give us further clarity on this issue.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist for a thorough evaluation.
