Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HealthcareMagic!
I passed carefully through your question and would explain that considering your normal nuclear stress test and other cardiac tests, it seems that the chest pain is not related to the heart.
Besides the fact that the increased dose of isosorbide did not help, is another argument in favor of an extracardiac cause.
For this reason, I would recommend considering other possible causes like musculoskeletal pain, costochondritis or gastritis. Is the pain triggered by manual pressure on the chest or deep breathing? Is it related to eating or hunger?
If the pain is triggered by pressure on the chest, it would be indicative of a musculoskeletal pain. In such case, ibuprofen would help relieve the pain.
If the pain is reduced by antiacid or PPI ( omeprazole), it would be indicative of possible gastritis.
In such case, a fibrogastroscopy may be needed.
A ventilation-perfusion chest CT scan or angio CT scan would help exclude possible pulmonary embolism.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above tests on the above tests.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
