I am looking for some confirmation. I am 29 years old, male, in fairly decent shape. About six months ago I experienced pain in the left side of my chest, from the center of my

ECGEcg
Electrocardiogram (ecg)
Exercise stress test
Post myocardial infarction ecg wave tracings. That was fine. Since I exercise fairly regularly, he did not suggest a stress test and so we left it at that. A few months after that I had the pain again and went back. Another

Vesicoureteral reflux and I should change my diet. I did so and continued to exercise as I normally do without any problems. Last week the pain came back again and this time was so intense in my arm that I ended up in the ER, where the attending doctor performed another
ECGEcg
Electrocardiogram (ecg)
Exercise stress test
Post myocardial infarction ecg wave tracings and, like all the others, this one came out fine. I do not have high blood pressure, I have not been experiencing anything like shortness of breath or sweats, and I have not had any problems during my exercise periods. I would assume that the problem must be something like acid reflux or a pulled muscle since all the ECG tests I have had have been normal. Is there something that I could possibly be missing without any further tests? The pain usually lasts for a few hours before it goes away.
