Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Yes, stress, tension and anxiety can cause GERD (gastroesophageal reflux disease) and this causes chest pain. Since her routine reports are normal, no need to worry for major heart and lung diseases.
GERD causes hyperactivity and Chest pain.
So control of stress and anxiety is must.
Better to consult another psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions. Try to identify stressor in her life and start working on its solution.
She should start anxiolytic drugs too.
Along with drugs, regular counselling is also very important.
For hyperacidity, she should take proton pump inhibitors.
Don't worry, she will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
