What Is Causing My Recurring Chest Pain?

i am a 23 year old female with recurring chest pain. i have had an ekg, stress test, been treated for pleurisy (motrin and a medrol dose pack), acid reflux (dexilant), anxiety (xanax and an antidepressant that i cant remember the name of), and recently with toprol. my pains are worse and my left arm and jaw are going numb, they last for about 10-15 seconds and are a stabbing pain right behind my left breast, then they go away. this has been going on since the beginning of march. I am 5'0 tall and about 100 pounds. i have a history of kidney stones and i have 1 child. any suggestions?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for major heart or lung related diseases as you are too young and had all normal reports.
In my opinion, your all symptoms are due to uncontrolled stress and anxiety.
Only drugs are not enough for complete recovery in anxiety.
You should definitely consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
Counselling sessions along with anxiolytic drugs will definitely help you more.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
