What Causes Recurring Chest Pains?

hi, i am a 37 year old male. I'm 5'9" and 150 pounds. I have been having these little chest pains for two months. Their on and off all day. When they first happened i went to the ER. They said my cardiac enzymes were good, i was hooked to a heart monitor for 3 hours, chest x-rays looked good, and the doctor said my heart sounded good. A week later i went to my family doctor and he said my heart sounded good and that my test from the hospital were good. He gave me a CMP, TSH, and CBC with difference blood test and they turned out good. My microalbumin test was good too. I just had a echocardio done at the cardiologist's and he said everything looked perfect. Could this be a ulcer, hiatal hernia, or acid reflux? I do have acid reflux and started taking prilosec a month ago. I also had a weird thing happen after all my test. I was standing and i felt a vacuum suction of air go down my throat and i started coughing. It felt like my heart was beating crazy. I took a couple of deep breaths and it stopped but it started back up again a couple of minutes later. I went out to my car and relaxed and it went away. Does this sound like a heart situation or just my nervous from the strange vacuum suction of air? Could the vacuum suction have been the cause of all this?

thanks

Hi,

As you explain the history, it seems to be a gastric reflux or gastrointestinal problem. If it repeats then discuss with your doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
