Chest Discomfort and Gerd

I am 31 years old, 6'0" and 205 lbs. A recent check-up did show high Triglycerides, but they were only moderately high.

A recent Upper GI showed some Acid Reflux, but some of my symptoms seem odd and I wanted to at least quell my paranoia.

Symptoms...

Fluttering in Chest
Pressure in Chest (right where my sternum is)
Small cramps along bottom of left pectoral
Small cramps along back of left shoulder

I have had 2 EKG's done and both came back clear. I know this is not the place for diagnosis, but does this sound like paranoia or Heart Symptoms?

I am guessing this is a mixture of GERD and 'mid-life crisis'(wife just had our first child), but wanted some outside opinion.

Thanks in advance for any comments.

I RECENTLY GOT MARRIED AND HAD A BABY TOO.  FOR ABOUT A MONTH NOW I HAVE BEEN EXPERIENCING THE SAME TYPE OF PAIN AS YOU.  MY LEFT CHEST AREA.  MY DOCTORS ALL THINK ITS ANXIETY BUT I FEEL AN IMPENDING SENSE OF DOOM.  I READ AN ARTICLE THAT WOMEN HAVE DIFFERENT HEART ATTACK SYMPTOMS THAN MEN.  IT SAID WOMEN CAN HAVE INDIGESTION, IMPENDING SENSE OF DOOM, CHEST PAIN FOR ABOUT A MONTH BEFORE A HEART ATTACK.  THIS SCARES ME.  I KEEP WONDERING IF IT REALLY IS ANXIETY OR A HEART PROBLEM.  I AM 25 -EAT RIGHT, EXERCISE, BP IS GOOD, GOOD CHOLESTEROL, NO FAMILY HISTORY OF HEART DISEASE.  BUT WHY ALL THE SYMPTOMS?  I KEEP THINKING I WILL DIE AND NOT BE ABLE TO SEE MY BABY GROW UP.  I'M SORRY YOU ARE HAVING THE SAME PROBLEMS.  I HAD 5 EKGS AND BLOOD WORK, CHEST X RAY, CT SCAN AND ALL CAME BACK NORMAL.  HOWEVER I READ THESE CAN ALL BE WRONG A LOT.  I MAY HAVE GERD BUT WHO KNOWS.  I SUGGEST YOU SEE YOUR DOCTOR AND SEE WHAT THEY THINK.  GOOD LUCK AND HOPEFULLY WE WILL GET ANSWERS!
THANK YOu!
