Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.

I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

If you had all those tests recently with good results, then heart attack is not likely. Also it lasts longer, it is usually relieved only with a strong painkiller and your description is not typical for heart attack, it seems more like a spine problem.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
