Frequent Chest Pains And Feelings Of Anxiety. Prescribed Xanax. Recommendations?

Hi, I have frequent chest pains and feelings of anxiety daily. I have been to the ER but they only diagnosed me with anxiety attacks and prescribed Xanax to help. However these chest pains seem to become more increasing and on my left side as well as my right. I'm not sure if I'm making myself sick by stressing or more to be concerned with.

Hi,
It seems that you might be having Anxiety Neurosis and due to over stress it aggravates the condition.
There seems to have Myalgia as well.
Go for EKG to rule out any cardiac ailment.
If there is no improvement with Xanax, consult psychiatrist and go for proper diagnosis.
Ok and take care.
