Hi modelbuild,
Thank you for your question and for being a part of the EmpowHer community. It sounds like you are very on top of your health, and are in the care of a good team of doctors. Kudos for taking care of yourself! I hope sharing your story was cathartic for you. I know when things are overwhelming, it helps me to write. It's good you walk. I like to be active too. In addition to other things, I practice yoga which helps to center me, clear my mind, and gives me focus to just breathe.
Do you still visit the psychiatrist? That seemed to help you in the past. I'm not a doctor, so I can't say if the pain is heart related, or stress. I can tell you though that I have periodic panic attacks and they do a number on you both physically and emotionally. It can be a battle to keep it under control. You know what that feels like. If the pain is different from that, or you feel super volatile, get help, I say.
Have you checked out EmpowHer's condition pages for Anxiety and Depression? There also is a new Group for Depression(Anxiety) which may provide a support.

Good luck and let us know how your tests turn out.
