I have weird chest pain?
Hello, As there is no objective evidence of medical conditions contributing to chest pain, unfortunately related to anxiety only, you need to get on medications for anxiety. Hydroxyzine alone is not adequate. You need to see a psychiatrist (starting on SSRI or SNRI antidepressants used for anxiety too in addition to Hydroxyzine).
