What Causes Chest Pain While Suffering From Social Anxiety?

Hi! This is my first time ever doing this, but I have a huge question to ask! My doctor said that I have a Disorder called Social Anxiety. I know what it is, but I want to know. Why do I have chest pains and everytime I m alone and think about something (mostly about my school) I start to cry?
