Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for heart related pain because you are having negative stress tests and ECG s.
Yes excessive, uncontrolled anxiety, stress etc can cause similar kind of chest and shoulder pain.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on its solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Don't worry, you will be alright.
Counselling is very important along with drugs for anxiety control.
So consult psychiatrist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
