Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service!
I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to possible acid reflux or costochondritis.
Have you tried to take an antiacid or PPI( omeprazole)?
Is the pain triggered by spicy food or heavy meals?
Is the pain triggered by deep breathing or manual pressure on the chest? This could be indicative of musculoskeletal pain.
Anyway, considering all your performed cardiac tests, I would exclude any possible cardiac issues.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
I would be glad to assist you again whenever you need!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri

Dear XXXXXXX
Based on your description, your symptoms seem to be related to acid reflux or gastritis. For this reason, I recommend taking PPI (omprazole, pantoprazole) and see if your situation improves.
Another possible cause to consider would be fibromyalgia, which is known to cause pain in this region.
Anyway, I agree with your cardiologist that a cardiac issue is less possible.
Hope you will find this information helpful!
Please let me know about everything!
Wishing all the best,
Dr. Iliri
