Hi Dear ,
As per your query you have chest pain , dry cough and heaviness in throat and your tests shows that there is no heart problem . Well the symptoms you mention in query are pointing towards a condition known as gastrointestinal reflux disease . In this condition upper sphincter of esophagus allow the acidic content of stomach to come upwards which cause irritation to mucosa f throat and esophagus which causes pain and heaviness along with dry cough . I would suggest you to consult gastroenterologist for proper checkup . Doctor may order test like endoscopy , X-ray of upper digestive track and test to check acidity of stomach . Doctor may prescribe H2 blockers , proton pump inhibitor and in some severe cases doctor may recommend surgery .. For now eat light and frequent meal .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes,
