How do I know if it's my heart or just chest bothering from anxiety

[loglegmomma]

Great question!

[Goldfish_]

After you've had it checked out, if it keeps recurring then it's anxiety, especially if you are below the age when heart problems are likely or younger than 50

It still worries me had several ekg done do they really work

[Goldfish_]

The ekg is the main test used. Of course there are lots more investigators that can be done, but would not be pursued without a clear indication from the history or examination. Chest pain is one of the commonest health anxiety symptoms as is evident from this website.

is there anything that would fully reassure you?

It sounds like you've had lots of doctors opinions and investigations.

You could go and see a top specialist and spend many thousands on investigations, but it sounds like the doctors do not feel that is likely to show any heart problem. However if you want to spend a few thousand for reassurance, it is up to you.

It's anxiety! Save yourself some money. Unless you are 50 or older....

OK I still worry hard not to when u feel pressure and chest pain

[Goldfish_]

Of course worry will make the symptoms worse, so if you can put that behind you it's likely your chest pains will settle, but will escalate back again if you start getting anxious.
