Can Extreme Stress Induce Sharp Chest Pain?

I have been having sharpe pains in my heart that last only about a second. I have about one every couple of hours for the last four days. I had this about a year ago and went to the emergency room where they did a test for a blockage by using some sort of liquid that was given to me by IV and doing a Scan. They found nothing wrong at that time. Could this be stress related because I have been under a lot of stress lately.

I can understand your concern.
Yes, stress can cause similar kind of intense chest pain.
No need to worry for heart diseases as your angiography is normal.
In my opinion, your chest pain is mostly due to uncontrolled stress and anxiety.
So better to consult psychiatrist and get done counselling sessions.
Try to identify stressor in your life and start working on it's solution.
You may need anxiolytic drugs too. Don't worry, you will be alright with counselling and anxiolytic drugs.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
