Confused rapid heart beat/chest pain.. Help!

Hi all! I've been dealing with chest tightens, pressure, as well as pain. I actually thought I was having a heart attack, sometimes I still do. Also in my back deep aches I overall feel like I have been beat up and im internally bruised. I have been in and out if the hospital for these symptoms as well as seen a cardiologist, my neurologist, and a MG specialist at UCLA and have no answers. All heart tests are fine, blood work comes out fine so basically all I heard was "well might be inflammation from the prednisone." So am I supposed to just deal with this? I feel like im trapped at home any thing I do my heart races it even wakes me up at night while I sleep. The docs also tried to say it may be part anxiety but I know that feeling that and that's not the culprit. I have been diagnosed for 19 yrs. (At 16 yrs old )with MG. on prednisone, mestinon, imuran, Ivig treatments, and 2 thymectomys as well as recently being diagnosed with hypo thyroid ( hashimotos) was on medication for 2 months and blood work showed it was ok so im not on anything for it now. Can any of you help? Any suggestions? Thanks..
