chest pain

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.
