Ongoing chest pain… Any suggestions?

Has anyone ever had ongoing chest pain that turned out to be nothing?

I have suffered constant chest pain since December. The pain ranges from shooting pain to pressure to tightness to squeezing to dull aches.

Sometimes it’s been accompanied by heaviness and pain in the left arm, tightness of jaw, shortness of breath, nausea, feeling of dread

I’ve had an ambulance out when it’s been at it’s worst. I’ve been to a&e 3x this year

I’ve had an appointment with a cardiac specialist and a heart echo. Awaiting test results

Was told at each a&e appointment my blood tests and ECG and blood pressure were completely normal. ECG at my cardiology appointment completely normal. The cardiac specialist said I am Low risk for cardiovascular disease & it doesn’t sound like angina as it comes on when resting.

The heart echo I’m awaiting results for, but he told me on the day there is nothing immediately concerning shown, no leakages, heart valves working properly. I’ve had 2 chest x rays to check my lungs which have been clear also

Awaiting 24 hour ECG next. My symptoms have been debaliting but multiple tests have shown no evidence of heart damage or heart condition. It’s not Costocondritis as it doesn’t hurt when I press in.

For context, I’m 25 years old, no diagnosed heart or other health conditions, quit smoking almost 2 years ago, drink maybe once every 6 months, no drugs in my life.

Any suggestions?

Hi sorry how are you now I have the exact same symptoms all my test have come back clear and doctors are basically saying I’m fine they haven’t put it down to anything so I’m just riding it out

I’m having the same too, ECGs and bloods keep coming back fine. They have guessed it is a muscle spasm in the chest but I can’t help feeling like it’s a fob off.
