Thank you for you question. I am Dr Asanghanwa Carlson, I would describe your condition as a stable angina. Your ECG can be normal when you are at a distance from exercise. You should do a cardiologist consultation and possibly a Holter ECG. I would also advice you stop smoking as this is a favouring factor for your condition and you still are very young and are exposing yourself to conditions like hypertension and lung cancer in the future. Good luck
