he's most likely correct.  can ask for a referal from him for a second opinion though.

it is most likely a psychological thing.  ie google anxiety, stress, panic disorder.

drugs are a quick fix and work quite well, but i prefer psychologists.  lifestyle change, personal change etc. are just as important as taking drugs that hide/mask the problem.

seek out support groups for anxiety as well.  don't brush it off as quack talk, it has become quite common and nothing to be ashamed of.

i was to major in psychology.  3 years at mount royal + university transfer down the drain because i started suffering from it.  panic attacks before class, almost having a heart attack during exams etc.  couldn't drive to or from school.  spent 3 hours at the automall because i couldn't force myself to drive across the ogden bridge in traffic.  it can be that bad.

to this day i rarely put myself in a claustrophobic situation (one of my glitches).  things are much milder now but i still feel it if im in a restaurant, under a jacked up jeep, in a passenger seat, etc.  different people have different triggers.

had i a chance to go back, i would have seen a psychiatrist asap heh.  ironic.

oh and i know what you're thinking Nathan

I'll second what Al says. I'd check a psychologist first though, they're less likely to use drugs. But don't be afraid to use drugs if they are recommended. They do work.
There's lots of help out there, You just have to ask.
Chest pains can also be related to stomach problems as well., September was a long time ago. Try a different doctor, get a second opinion.

And to toss my two cents in.....it's not that you're weak or anything like that.  It's just more common to be able to talk about something like this these days.
