I overdosed August 8th on About 60-50mg zoloft, 30-50mg tramadol, 25-30mg buspar and about 25 visteril. Ended up in icu with prolonged qt for 2 days. I have had chest pain in my left upper quadrant ever since. My doctor said it s anxiety and heartburn. It s a dull to deep pain. Any ideas?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
In my opinion you are having anxiety related symptoms mostly. But better to rule out cardiac cause first. Because of two reasons.
1. Left sided pain.
2. You had QT prolongation in past.
So get done ECG and 2D Echo to rule out cardiac cause.
If both are normal than no need to worry for cardiac cause.
Your symptoms are mostly related to anxiety only.
And anxiety itself can cause heart burn (acid reflux) so anxiety appears more in your case.
Consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions, try to identify stressor in your life and work out its solution.
Avoid stress and tension. Be relax and calm. Don't worry, you will be alright.
