What Could Cause Chest Pain?

I went to the ER last night with chest pain that was worse when I lay down. They did two EKG's which showed abnormalitiy in T wave referred me for stress test with echo which came back normal. I am 27 and have been having chest pain on and off for a month... What could it be?
I am 4 11 and weigh 113... nothing significant in medical history... when I was at ER my potassium level was 3.4 so they gave me a supplement. Everytime I go the doctor they tell me I have indigestion yet meds are not relieving it

hello,
mostly it's a acidity and reflux disease. Do you upper abdominal pain, nausea, bloating, burping, increase in pain on food, sour water feeling in throat or chest burning, if yes it further supports the diagnosis. Avoid fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have some walk after having food instead of taking rest. Have multiple small meals instead of heavy meals. Have regular sleep habits and avoid stress. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
You can get prescribed tab Pan DSR 40 mg beforebreakfast once a day for 2 weeks.
Does this pain increases on deep breathing, if could be a pian from lining of lungs or heart which will need evaluation and otc medicine like ibuprofen or diclofenac till evaluation is complete.
