What Can Be The Cause Of Pain On The Lower Side Of My Heart?

Hello, so today at work i started getting sever heart palpitations...no caffeine besides a cup of coffee in the morning. Shortly after these started occurring, i felt a severe pain right on the lower side of my heart that came off and on for about 3 hours, and along with all this I was winded just walking around. I went to the doctor and they gave me some blood thinners, checked my heart which came back good and the symptoms have all but gone away. I just got a job as a GM at an automotive shop at 23 and am really run thin stress wise. Could stress be the cause of this? The doctors did not find anything and couldn t give me a very definitive answer about stress causing heart problems.

Though the symptoms might be due to ischaemia to the heart, as you say the tests have adequately ruled that out. The other possibility of transient arrhythmia should be kept in mind and If symptoms Reccur get 24 hour holter, a stress test if not done would be helpful.
