GAD is abbreviation for "Generalized Anxiety Disorder". This is a type of neurotic illness which has multifactorial causes, mainly genetic. It is managed and maintained rather than cured, just like diabetes and hypertension. Yes, it can cause chest pain that is mild, non-radiating, non-escalating, irregular, more during stressful situations, and improved with Benzodiazepines and relaxation techniques. Thanks

There are many causes of chest pain and increased heart rate. Sometimes it may be due to anxiety too. But need to see other causes of chest pain related to heart too depending upon your age other disease like high bp, sugar etc. If your anxiety is serious and affecting your daily activities then you need to consult mental health doctor take medicines if needed and have some behavioural change.
