Hello.It seems that your doctor does not relate his chest pain with heart pathology.To rule out heart patology is necessary to be done various additional tests(electrocardiogram, cardiac enzymes, cardiac ultrasound, holter, effort test,even coronary angiography).If all these are tests are normal your doctor must consider other non-heart pathologies that can cause chest pain(lung problems…).I wish you good health.
