Brief Answer:
Low magnesium.

Detailed Answer:
Hello, XXXXXXX
If all the tests you have had have proved negative you could be low on magnesium. Magnesium is an amazing mineral that has many benefits. Might be worth you looking into it for yourself. It could be that you are feeling muscle spasms in your heart area which magnesium would correct.

Sometimes you may require anti anxiety medicine. which will need a prescription.

Any query do follow up.

Take care.
