Hello!

Thank you for the query.

If you are older than 50, the first test you should have is colonoscopy. Neither of mentioned tests does not give good image of large intestine. Your symptoms sound like partial bowels obstruction. If your age is 50 or more, colon cancer should be ruled out.
If you are younger, inflammatory bowels disease can be the reason.

I suggest you to visit your doctor once again. Colonoscopy and stool tests are necessary.
Chest pain can be associated with bowels issue or can be caused by heart or lungs issue. I suggest you to have heart ECG, ultrasound and spirometry done.

Hope this will help.
Regards.
