Brief Answer:
must be neuritic pain.
Detailed Answer:
Hello dear,
Since your stress echo is normal, we need not be worried about cardiac causes.
Your symptoms like tingling and inflammatory feeling in chest relieved by changing posture is more suggestive of neuritic or muscular pain. The causes of neuritic and muscular pain are
1. Vitamin B 12 deficiency
2. Pulled muscle
3. Nerve compression.
So better to get done vitamin B 12 level. If deficient ,start supplements. Your local doctor will know about this test.
In the meantime, avoid bad postures and movements that causes tingles. You may also take anti inflammatory and muscle relaxant tablets. Try physiotherapy and application of warm water pad.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
