chest pain

Posted By kel on April 19, 1999 at 20:54:28
About a week ago I had chest pain that lasted on and off for about eight hours.  It seemed worse when I laughed, moved or breathed deeply; it was just a little right of the center of my chest.  I have also had palpitations and pinching or little pains in my chest on and off; these didn't occur with excercise.  I had tests done for my palpitations: tredmill stress test, chest x-ray, ekg, and echo.  The doctor wasn't worried about anything (these tests were before the aforesaid chest pain.) My questions are these:
1.  Should I go back to the cardiologist for this mentioned chest pain?
2.  Can you develop heart problems quickly?  Were the tests enough assurance that there isn't a problem?
3.  Also, can palpitations occur or be felt in the lower rib cage?
I am 20, female, muscular, don't drink or smoke.  There are heart problems in my family.  Mostly my mom's mom. Thanks for your time.
