Are Excessive Crying, Chest Pain, Breathing Difficulty And Heart Palpitations Symptoms Of Anxiety?

Probably only Anxiety
Detailed Answer:
Hi friend
Welcome to Health Care Magic
True, it sounds like Anxiety. Your symptoms do not suggest Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) – pain from the heart is oppressing, in central chest (and left), worse on effort, relieved by rest, may radiate to shoulders and arms, associated with sweating and so on. Also, it is very uncommon in women of child bearing age.
Many cases of such pain and/or palpitation are benign and specific treatment may not always be necessary.- especially when associated with normal ECG, ECHO. If you also have symptoms like blurred vision, dizziness, loss of consciousness, shortness of breath, along with this, you need urgent work up
If the problem continues, you will need investigations…
Heartbeats need to be DOCUMENTED by ElectroCardioGram (EKG). Standard ECG records the electrical activity of the heart, for a few seconds. It can detect the arrhythmia occurring during that time only. If the episode occurs randomly, one needs Holter or event monitor.
An ECHOcardiogram is usually done to see the heart valves (Mitral Valve Prolapse) / heart muscle (Cardiomyopathy) and heart function (Ejection fraction, wall motion abnormality) / clots...
TMT – Treadmill exercise ECG is done to evaluate ischemia (reduced blood flow / Coronary Artery Disease)
As it is, you do not seem to need anything, but follow up, if symptomatic
Good luck
God bless you
