Hello,
Thank you for your question.
Well yes you can do ECG for completion of workup, but i guess the diagnosis of irritable bowel syndrome, nervous colon might be a good candidate, 6th year medical school could be stressful sometimes that your body would show symptoms of no physical origin, nevertheless its very good that you did all the above mentioned tests if pain persists refer to a gastroenterologist with all your tests he or she will be able to prescribe some medication for IBS, for the shisha try to quit it and see if the symptoms disappears.
hope that helped, good luck with your studies.
