Symptoms

I am 59 155 lbs. 5'3".  I am on meds for high blood pressure, lipitor, meds for breast cancer.  I recently had a high blood calcium level so had surgery for removal of my right side parathyroid.  After surgery my blood calcium still high.  Considering another surgery.  I have had over the last year 3 incidents which felt like heart attack.  ER did EKG which was normal and passed two stress tests as normal.  However, I feel pressure in my chest on left side and some stiffness in neck and jaw.  Very tired and anxious.  Could any of my previous conditions (parathyroid or high calcium level) be contributing to my pressure in my chest?  Should I press my Drs to examine my heart further?  Does stress test show whether there is blockage?  Please help.
