Hi

I understand your concern.

It can be due to anxiety.

Chest pain, palpitation,rapid heart beat, sweating all are symptoms of anxiety.

But before we stamp it we have to do investigation that you have already done.

So if all reports are normal then we can say it is anxiety.

It can be treated with SSRI, in SSRI mild dose of escitalopram and paroxetine like drug is very useful but before taking this medicines you have to consult psychiatrist and evaluate your self.

Regular exercise , meditations, relaxation etc can help.

Proper sleep and diet will useful.

Stress free work and pleasurable activity can help.

Do take advise from doctor.

Still have query then feel free to ask.
