This question is best answered by your family doctor, who can follow-up on your hospital visits and run tests and do a complete physical exam to determine if there is indeed a medical cause for your chest pain. If your family doctor finds some physical cause for your chest pain, then he or she may refer you to a specialist. On the other hand, if your family doctor finds no physical cause for your chest pain, then he or she may refer you to a psychiatrist. Regardless of where your family doctor refers you, it is important to have regular and frequent visits to your family doctor, so that he or she can evaluate any complaints you have.
