Asking for Sister, Female, 18 years old, Islamabad

For past 3 months, my sister is feeling continuous chest and back pain with the pain in left arm. She also feels increase in heart rate at sometimes. We have been to every doctor and till now, no one is able to find the cause. One doctor has said that he has 'health Anxiety' and given anti depressants. I want to ask if health anxiety can cause actual pain ?? Because we can clearly see that she feels the actual pain and it all started after the death of our mother.

GRIEF REACTION could be a possibility attributed to the death of loved one
which could actually cause not only severe pain but also vasovagal collapse.
However , first we've to rule out all medical reasons .

2d Echocardiogram
ETT
X RAY chest
USG ABDOMEN
TROP-I
ANA
Vit.D3

We need these tests to rule out major reasons of chest pain
