I have frequent chest pains as well since my early 20s! They tell me it is costochondritis but my inflammatory markers are always exceptional. I know what it is now and it is totally neurological, both issues.

Wonder if you have noticed if you were neurologically sensitive to any types of foods?

Eventually they subsided, I don't even remember when, and I've never really had them since...unless I have reflux, which does happen for me occasionally.

I'm learning I just can't really do coffee / caffeine though, I don't think it's ever really been good for me, it causes reflux and anxiety for me, but I just loved coffee to much. I gave up recently however!

You might have heart burn occasionally too ?

I cut out caffeine & my chest pain completely went away & never came back.
