Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Possibility of cardiac chest pain is very less because you are having normal ecg.
Sometimes patient can have cardiac disease despite of normal ecg. You are also having strong family history of heart disease.
So better to get done stress test.
If stress test is normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Anxiety and tension can also cause similar kind of chest pain.
So avoid tension, be relax and calm.
Don't worry, you will be alright but get done stress test first.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
