What could be causing sharp (stabbing) chest pains if my heart is healthy?

I have been experiencing sharp chest pain (left side only) on and off for the past few months.  I finally decided to see a Doctor because it was occuring more and more often.  I had blood work done, an echocardiogram and an electrocardiogram.  Everything came back normal and the Cardiologist said my heart was in perfect condition so something else was causing the pain.  I have high blood pressure but in the acceptable range and no other symptoms other than the chest pain.  Sometimes it lasts just a few minutes and other times, like today, I've had it for almost 10 hours now.  Any ideas would be greatly appreciated as I am concerned that my Doctor may just dismiss since the results from those tests all came back good.  Thanks!

See a chiropractic to see if your rib or ribs are out of alignment.  This cause cause sharp stabbing pain.

Was there blood work up done that included testing for  pneumonia, mrsa etc. Also, any chest x-rays of your lungs performed?
