Suggest Treatment For Dull Chest Pains

I am 49 years old. I am having dull pains on the left side of my chest just below my collar bone. I have not experienced any shortness of breath, although I have gotten light-headed and faint before. I went to the ER with Chest pains a little over a month ago and the Stress test, EKG, and Echo all came back ok. They thought it may have been stress related. I was a pack a day smoker but have quit. I had no symptoms for about a month after going to the hospital but now they seem to be more persistent. My blood pressure has been normal when I check it. Wondering if I should go back to the Cardiologists to have more test done? I think the reasons for the original anxiety I was under are mostly gone now. Any suggestions?
