I've been having this really awful chest pain for about a month now, and it sometimes feels like my heartbeat is a bit off. After doing a bunch of research, I think it might be esophageal spasms. I went to the ER twice, and they said my EKG and heart monitor were fine. My doctor gave me muscle relaxers, which help with the spasms, but I still cant shake this terrible feeling in my chest. My blood pressure seems okay, it's usually around 120 over 86. I keep feeling my pulse all down my chest and arms, and its been really hard to get any sleep. Could there be something else going on that Im missing?

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.
