I'm 25, and I've been dealing with this on-and-off pain in my left arm for about 15-20 days now. It was sharp and shooting at first, so I thought it might be gastritis, but now the pain's more dull and constant. Lately, for about a week, I've been feeling breathless sometimes, and there's some nausea too. I get tired pretty quick and now there's this annoying discomfort in my upper back. Should I be looking into any specific tests or is there something else I should be considering?

I'm getting these episodes of chest pain and heaviness on my left side that go down to my shoulder and arm, and they last a really long time, like more than a day. They happen randomly without any exertion, and it's scary. I had an ECG during a panic attack, and it showed a heart rate of 130 bpm with sinus tachycardia, but I was discharged after 12 hours. Another time, I felt that chest heaviness with a burning sensation again, and the echocardiography came out normal. The doctor said there's nothing to worry about cardiac-wise, but the anxiety and fear are hard to shake off. Should I consider a stress test or something, even though my ECG was normal at that rate?

patient needs psychiatric opinion for his anxiety.
