Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
No need to worry for heart diseases because your stress test is normal.
Possibility of skin infection like herpes zoster is more in your case.
It is viral infection of skin caused by skin contact.
It is commonly seen in chest area.
Herpes causes pain, redness, itching and venous engorgement (dilatation of veins) in localised chest area.
So better to consult dermatologist and get done clinical examination of your local part.
You may need antiviral, painkiller and anti inflammatory drugs.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health..
