Hello and welcome.
The chest pain seen in cardiac conditions can be mimicked by conditions relating to the gastrointestinal tract and so the next time you get chest pain request the medical staff to administer 40 my of pantoprazole I.v or take oral tablets of the same.
Another condition I have found to match cardiac chest pain is costochondritis, which is more common in women and usually comes down with the help of NSAIDs (e.g. Ibuprofen, diclofenac, etc.). Please speak to your doctor to adequately rule out these conditions as well which can cause non-cardiac chest pain.
Best wishes
