Hey bro, they said the same shit to me and I forced them to do blood work and a stress test. I recommend you do the same. They found that I have really high cholesterol and elevated liver enzymes. These two factors are possible signs of heart disease, which runs in my family. My pops was diagnosed with cardiopulmonary heart disease at 27 and had his first triple bypass at 31 and his second at 41. He didn't survive the second bypass. So get your ass back to the doctors and have them do teh blood work and teh stress test. BTW I'm only 25 and pretty damn unhappy that I might have heart disease this early in life.
Hope all is well in the end!

no offense but you are asking a bunch of people with zero medical training or no medical knowledge.
What I would do it seek out a cardiologist or another Internal Medical doctor and get a second opinion.

I've never been diagnosed with that before but my older brother has. I forgot to mention that to them but I really don't hear much out of the norm.

Musculo skeletal pain is usually differentiable in that it's much sharper, and usually it changes with how you move your arms or if you push on your chest. Cardiac issues usually feel more like a dull pain (like someone's sitting on you chest).
That said, wouldn't hurt to get a blood panel or a stress test done.
