Hi,
Thanks for your question.
I do understand your pain and discomfort.
As per your history indicates if every thing is alright and no clinical sign present then you can do a angiogram test to confirm 100% that there is no blockage present.If afterwards patient complains about it then it can be called as PANIC ATTACK so consult with a mental doctor and he will ask patient's relatives several questions to confirm the diagnosis.

I hope I was able to address your query. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to write to me.
Wishing you all the best.
Thanks
