What Causes Chest Pain And Discomfort?

I am being treated for hypothyroid and went to the cardiologist with chest pain/discomfort. I was given an EKG that had an abnormal result which prompted a nuclear stress test. I took the first part of the test today and the doctor said everything looked good. Is it possible that the new onset of pain/discomfort is just a new normal for me without any underlining cardiovascular issue? Thank you so much for your help.
