If your echocardiogram results are normal, you should still talk with the doctor to find out his/her expert opinion and how best for you to proceed. With a normal echo, it seems that you will have ruled out a great number of serious causes. While I don't readily jump to anxiety as a cause, it is definitely a possibility (with a normal cardiac and gastro workup).
