Thank you for writing to Health Care Magic.
I think that you have chest pain. There are a few possible causes of chest pain but the one to be most worried about is related to heart related chest pain.
Since the ECG did come back negative, I would recommend that you get a Stress ECG done or a treadmill test done. This will help you get to the cause.
If that is negative, I would think that you have a chest or lung infection. We will need to follow up to confirm this.
Hope this helps you.
