Hi welcome to HCM.
Chest pain in the absence of documentary evidence of heart involvement like negative results on EKG and Treadmill,can be most likely be related to chest wall origin causing costochondritis.This can be safely treated with drugs like ibuprofen and diclofenac sodium.Regular chest wall exercises can largely prevent such episodes.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
