though you have not mentioned you age but retrosternal chest pain can be of cardiac origin but females before age of 65 are cardio protective by natural hormone called estrogen
you have anxiety problem,which can lead to increased formation of acid in stomach and heart burn
heartburn pain also mimics cardiac pain and is retrosternal(behind sternum ie middle of rib cge)
i would suggest you to take
cap pantoprazole 40mg once daily empty stomach
tab etizolam 0.25mg once daily at night for 10 days
thank you
