24 yr old male with angina symptoms, normal test results

hello, im a 24 yr old male,drink quite a bit of beer, 6ft, 212lbs, and cholesterol of 245, high triglycerides. I've been having left side chest pain that has been in the same exact location for about a year and half now, that radiates to left arm, mostly inner left arm, and left hand, and left jaw. Palpitations, pvc's, and rapid heartbeat that wakes me during night. sometimes when i have the severe left side chest pain, especially after night of drinking, i have sweats, and naseu. most of the time the pain i experience in the arm and jaw last at most about 5 mins, and then goes away and then comes back 5 mins later on and off. i've had normal test results on stress echo, stress test, echo, holter monitor, and event monitor, and chest xray. only thing caught on montiors was pvc's and svt. 1.could i be having heart related pain, angina, that was never caught on any of my test? 2. can an event monitor catch angina, or heart blockages when i feel the pain and put it to my chest?? 3. what else could be causing the heart pain that i feel in left side of chest that radiates to left jaw and left arm and hand? is it possible for someone my age and test that i have had to have CAD, that causes my symptoms? thanks, also sometimes i feel a fluttering sensation in my chest that feels like my hearts not beating right and i get kinda weak and hot, i also CANNOT reproduce the chest pain by pressing on the area.

i've seen many of dr's, and cardiologist and they just blow me off and say its not heart related.  what could be causing the angina symptoms that i'm experiencing, they are so much like they are heart related and coming from the heart, what could this be, i also have noticed that lately it will go away right before i fall asleep and stay gone until i get up and get moving around and then it comes back and the pain is in my left jaw, right under my left ear lobe, and in my left arm and left side of chest, it is like a pinching, twisting, squeezing pain.  what in the world could this be?  thanks everyone!!  should i puch for a cardiac ct scan, or a ct angiogram???

Hi,  I have had similar issues too with no diagnosis.  5 er trips probably 100 doc visits im guessing, LOTS of tests all within 9 months or soo.  Docs are saying anxiety, costocongritis, acid reflux and some other small issues.  If you want check my posts for a more accurate detail.  Hope you feel better and find out whats going on.
