I have had two EKG's one dr said that it was abnormal and possible infection of the fluid around my heart and the other Dr said nothing should up on there EKG and blood work came back normal.

Pulmonologist,  's  Response
Hi. I can understand your concern.
Chest pain is commonly seen in bronchitis and lung infection. Get a chest x ray done if is normal, no need to worry for lung infection.
Possibility of bronchitis is more in your case.
So better to consult pulmonologist and get done clinical examination of respiratory system and PFT (Pulmonary Function Test).
PFT is needed for the diagnosis of bronchitis.
It will also tell you about severity of the disease and treatment of bronchitis is based on severity only.
You may need inhaled bronchodilators and inhaled corticosteroid (ICS)
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
