Do a spyrometry and check thyroid function.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

It is a good sign that your EKG , chest x-ray and blood work are normal. Also taking count of your young age the possibility of the pain originating from heart is lower.
I can advice you to do a spyrometry to check your lungs capacity and function.
Also you may need to check thyroid function.

Hope I have answered the question .
Let me know if I can assist you further.
