Hello
Welcome to HCM
The symptoms you are having like chest pains, hot flushes, palpitations, irregular beast, aches in neck and other areas are nothing but due to anxiety and panic disorder. Anxiety may cause many bodily and somatic symptoms. Most of tests done for heart come normal as in your case. I would advise you to consult a Psychiatrist for expert management. Try relaxation exercises and breathing exercise. SSRI, SNRI are drugs that are commonly used in anxiety.
Thanks
