Can cervical or anxiety be causing my chest pain? It's been 5 months and although my ECG and X-ray were fine, the chest pain just won't go away. Could it still be related to my heart?

Cervical issues and anxiety can indeed cause chest pain, especially if all cardiac tests like ECG and X-ray have come back normal. The persistent chest pain may be related to musculoskeletal issues or anxiety. To help alleviate the chest pain, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen (e.g., Advil) as needed for pain and muscle relaxation. Additionally, practicing stress-reducing techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also be beneficial. If the chest pain persists or worsens, it is important to follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.

Hey, I went to the doctor and got tested for heart palpitations, but everything came back normal. I'm supposed to go back in January, but today I experienced heart palpitations for about 40 minutes, and my heart rate was at 130. I felt really hot and a bit faint. I'm on my period, been feeling super stressed, and my eating habits haven't been great these past few weeks. Is this something normal because of all that, or should I be worried?
