Chronic Pain In Middle Of Ribs, Effected By Stress, Emotional Pain. Pain Causing Depression. Suggestions?

Yes please. I've been for medical checkups and the dr's don"t seem to find what's wrong with me. I've been experiencing a chronic pain right in the middle between my ribs for years. It is not affected at all by anything I eat or don't eat. It is however effected by stress and emotional pain or stress. Then it's worse. I wake up feeling as if someone wrapped my heart very tightly in solution tape. This pain is causing depression..or the other way around?
