Chest pain no heart block?

Hello everyone, I’m writing because I’m concerned with some lyme and co ongoing symptoms. I’m having chest pain like in my breast bone and some heart palpitations. When I went to cardiologist and had ekg everything looks great! Which is good but doesn’t stop the fact I’m still feeling this pain. My question is can lyme cause heart issues even though my doctor is saying it’s not lyme carditis?

I was just googling - and found this site...take a look - if you're concerned maybe ask for a couple of these tests:

BTW - how is your pulse and blood pressure?

maybe the Echocardiogram (ultrasound of heart) would be minimal invasive test to do?

And a stres test perhaps?

Vidka, it can be tendons and lligaments around the ribs, ribs, muscles, nerves.... It doesn't have to be your heart, but check it to be sure. I have a lot of pain because chostocondritis. It feels like s heart attack.

Echoing costochondritis. The cartilage can become inflamed on either side of your sternum, so sometimes breathing and certain positions can be painful, especially when it spasms. The spasms feel like lightning in your chest, but it can be a dull soreness as well, and tender to the touch. Usually the left side is more affected for some reason, which makes it seem cardiac in origin. My most recent bout of costochondritis happened when the techs setting me up for a chest x-ray dislodged some of my ribs! So my craniosacral therapist eased them back into place and the soreness abated. Apparently ribs can be dislodged slightly just from sleeping on your side for too long and other unremarkable occurrences, so if there's any chance that's what's going on for you, then a craniosacral therapist or chiropractor might be able to help. But costochondritis often happens in the absence of any injury.

Possibly Larynopharangeal reflux? Or anxiety?

Have you monitored your pulse while standing up, or only while seated? I ask because my pulse is fine unless I am standing, and then it skyrockets because of autonomic nervous system dysfunction called postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), which causes chest pain (but very rarely any sort of danger to the heart itself, so your heart would be fine on an echocardiogram, EKG, x-ray, etc.). Just another thing to consider.

I do think I have some mild POTS symptoms. My heart rate does jump sometimes when go from sitting to standing but not every time, and of course never while at docs.

Yes, you could have mild POTS.

I have pots and although I didn't really have bp symptoms of pots ...but my heart rate would always go high (over 100 bpm) every time I stood up.

Now, as it's getting better....it doesn't always go up when I stand up...but if I sit down again and stand up it will...so a second attempt will provoke it..
But, my heart rate isn't going as high as it used to.
