   Sorry to hear about your fears,and would like to console you best as possible.Unfortunately I must relay as one whom has had these pains as
many times and more than most .
   From a Novice,its smart to have the test,and dont be disappointed when
it comes out Negative for heart Failure symptoms.Its really good news as
gasses in your body can also do these pains,and its you whom has to de
cide which is more appropiate to go with.Many of my pains were non relat
ed to a heart problem.
    Unfortunately ,I have a new by-pass and new heart valve.I am not under
doctors care,and have had my new heart valve for 3 1/2 years,and no
prescribed medicines to take.  So hang in there and go with the high Bl
ood pressure for now,and the pains will remain less intimidating.

    Good Luck
    Jim

Does anything trigger the pain, exercise perhaps? You said you had all the tests done, what were you tested for? What did the doctors advise you 3 weeks ago, did they say what it was or could be or just they didn't think itbwas your heart? Are they treating the high blood pressure?

Sorry about all the questions, I think it should help people reading your post to know a bit more though.

Important thing to remember, if you're worried see your doctor again. If it's really worrying you speak to someone today, even if it's just NHS direct.
