Hi,

Chest pains and aches are very common with anxiety. Once you get the ct you'll probably be able to calm down and realise that it's stress that's causing these things. I know it's easy to say but try and relax. The fact that all your other tests have been okay sounds good. I know when you're anxious you always think the worse but it's usually not. Take care.

As you have had all medical tests I imagine that the symptoms you feel are either muscular or anxiety related. If you check some older posts you will see that heart worries can be a fairly common form of health anxiety. I myself have suffered from this for years. It will get better and just think how you have had lots of health confirming tests and try to relax and concentrate your mind on something else. Very hard I know but you will improve. XX
