I am 28 years old and have been experiencing chest tightness, heaviness, and chest pain for a long time. These symptoms do not occur only during exercise. Sometimes they happen even when I am sitting or resting. The pain can be in the middle of the chest or on the left side, lasts a few seconds, and then goes away. Sometimes it is associated with left arm pain, sometimes not.
I have had multiple TMTs and Echocardiograms over the years, all normal. CT Coronary Angiography done 3 years ago was normal. My latest TMT (2 months ago) was normal, and my latest Echo (3 months ago) was normal with EF 72%.
Today I walked on a treadmill for 15 minutes (4.2 km/h, incline 3.5 for 6 min and incline 5 for 6 min). My heart rate reached 148 bpm, but I had no chest pain during exercise.
Does this symptom pattern sound more cardiac or non-cardiac in nature considering the normal investigations? Can I feel it's non cardiac without repeating any tests now please suggest I am scared to the core
I have been experiencing occasional chest discomfort for the past 9–10 years. At times, my chest feels heavy, and occasionally I experience brief pain that lasts around 10–15 seconds before resolving on its own. The pain can vary in nature—sometimes it feels like a sharp, pin-prick sensation. These episodes usually occur once or twice a day. I am currently 25 years old and would like to understand the possible cause of these symptoms.
Since more than a week I was having this weird feeling in my chest or a small dull pain in between. Friday when I was coming back home I went to the ER because my heart rate increased, I was scared and my chest pain increased (left side of the chest). The doctors said the ecg does have a few changes but could be old or psychological too. Trop I test was 0.90 so they mentioned this could most probably be an anxiety attack so I was suggested to visit a cardio to get a review. I was suggested Pan 40 twice a day before food and Concor 2.5 after food twice a day. I stopped as per the 3 day course however I couldn't get the appointment for my cardiologist so I haven't been to the cardiologist yet. Today i smoked but when I was smoking while leaving I was told that smoking leads to increased palpitations and I guess my body panicked but my palpitations increased. I came home and had concor 2.5, my bp was 143/93 with heart rate of 102. Now my bp is 117/84 with 82 heart rate. Possible reason?

Thank you, Doctor, for your guidance. Regarding my diagnosis of CIHD, it was mentioned in my medical claim form, but I have not yet undergone an ECHO or a Treadmill test. I will proceed with arranging these tests immediately as you have advised, despite some challenges with insurance coverage. I appreciate your expert recommendation.
