first we should tell you characterstics of cardiac chest pain, and you should correlate character of your chest pain with this.
1. cardiac chest pain is usally central in the chest( not left or right)
2. it increases on heavy work, climbing stairs, walking uphill.. relieves on taking rest
3. it has a constricting and squeezing character, as if a rope is tightened around your chest( not stabbing)
4. it may radiate to left or right arm or up to the jaw
5. it last for 15-20 mins.. never a quickfire lasting for seconds and vanishing or lasting continously for days.
so after reading this correlate your pain.
nothing to worry.
Next Steps
still in doubts.. get a TMT test done again.
