Chest ache on left side

I am 36 and 155 lb.

I have high blood pressure and over the last 2 weeks have dull ache on the left side of chest. This has sent me to ER and the EKG, Blood work and Chest XRay are all normal. I have a cardio appt but just have been curious about the chest pain. Will the stress test be needed or having normal EKG, blood work and XRay are enough? Thanks

I get the same thing, had it for years..First they said it was GERD, then it was in my head. Good one huh? Now I just deal with it, I take Tramadol, it seems to help..

I would having just gone through this go have a nuclear stress test.....it helped me..the regular stress did nothing and showed that I was fine but the Nuclear showed I had had Heart Damage...which led to a dbl bypass fast..so please don't play with it have it checked out and let me know
Good Luck
