I dont know much about all of this but your symptoms sound similar to my boyfriends, he is 21 and 2 years ago started having chest pains which got worse when he lied down or tried to sleep, he went to hosp and they found nothing, did ecg's and said they were normal, then last year he had a heart attack, he's ok now thank god but he had to have a stent fitted in his artery and is on medication now for life. If they had picked up the problem the first time he would not have had the heart attack
I dont mean to scare you but I think the best thing is to get checked out and get a 2nd opinion just to be on the safe side, its probably nothing!
