Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
Thank you for the additional information!
I would like to know if the chest pain is triggered by pressure on the chest or body movements. This would be indicative of a musculoskeletal pain and would exclude any cardiac issues.
Anyway, I would recommend performing an exercise cardiac stress test, in order to completely exclude any possible cardiac issues.
It is also important checking thyroid hormone levels, for possible thyroid gland dysfunction, if you have not already performed this test.
If palpitations persist, I would recommend performing an ambulatory 24-48 hours ECG monitoring, in order to examine your heart rhythm trends for a prolonged period of time and exclude possible cardiac arrhythmia .
If all the above tests result normal, you should consider anxiety as the main cause underlying your complaints.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
If you have any other questions, please don't hesitate to ask me again!
