Anxiety or something else?

Okay, so I experience "anxiety" every day. I've seen numerous doctors and even called ambulances because of panic attacks I guess. Every day, i get strong chest pain, upper back, jaw, neck and teeth pain, drowsiness, dizziness, pins and needles, shortness in breath and headaches. Apparently all of those above are a factor from sever anxiety and the pins and needles, shortness of breath and dizziness are from hyperventilating. Yet throughout it all, my heart isn't palpitating, I'm not hyperventilating & I'm completely calm, but it won't stop. Sometimes it gets so bad and then I panic (panic attack). Doctors have done ECG scans on my heart, I have had a chest Xray. I have had an MRI and CT scan on my brain. Everything is apparently normal. Sometimes I still think it's not anxiety and sometimes I just tell myself it is to calm me down. It's crippling and I want to know whether anyone else has experienced it the way I do?

Hello, make sure you see heart specialist. I had a familiar problem. If your heart turns out to be fine, then it's associated with anxiety. Any recent changes in your lifestyle? Food intake? Stress? And so on.
