hi,
having a chest discomfort with upper back stabbing pain is a little vague complain.
EKG is normal.
i am concerned as your diastolic BP is low.
I suggest you to get following tests done just to rule out few important things
chest xray
2 d echo.
get a consultation with a physician as an clinical examination would help.
