Welcome to the forum, dash.
We're not doctors, so we can't diagnose. All we can do is tell you our own experiences, which may have nothing at all to do with your problem.
You've had heart checked some, but do you have any problem with chest pain when you're running, climbing stairs, doing any hard exercise? How's your cholesterol? Overweight? I had the tests you had and had a heart attack a few weeks later. A stress test would have shown more.
My heart attack did have a trigger - a chemical intolerance for a substance found in processed foods - but I had high cholesterol for years, which was the problem with chest discomfort, not even pain, on exercise.
Do you have your symptoms all the time? Only after eating?
I've gotten my weight and cholesterol down to very good levels (by just not eating bread) and don't have the discomfort anymore. I avoid my trigger foods (food journal) and the reflux stopped. (To be fair, I did need surgery, but that was after an accident that shoved my stomach into my chest.)
Best wishes
Hello- Could you tell us more about the chemical? Which one is it specifically? Thanks in advance for this info.
Dash, do you have this pain all the time including upon waking?
I get chest pains that I would describe as a sharp, fleeting pain on either side of my chest but mostly on my left.
