The first test I had was a manometry to rule out oesophageal spasms which was normal so now the tests for a heart condition continues. My question is it still possible to have oesophegeal spasms when having no problems swallowing food

Yes. Spasams will happen even if you don't have problems swallowing. My first manometry was also negative. 1 month later, it was positive.

They investigated me for heart problems, over and over and over. I had 10 EKG's over a 6 month period. Finally, they suggested I see a Gastroenterologist. I never had problems swallowing food, but food would get stuck in my lower esophagus, right before the LES. My first manometry was negative, then 2 weeks later it was positive for Nutcracker esophagus. I have pain in the chest, and terrible pain in my back right between my shoulder blades. My family doctor, who has been practicing for 20 years has one nutcracker esophagus patient, me. So, this affliction - is not very common - and often over looked.

did you have to have the 24 hr one too they decided not to do one for me as I was quite unwell at the time and didn't think I would cope with it, I would not be too bothered with having the same one again but I will refuse to have the 24 hr one.
Microvascular Angina has the same symptoms which is why they ruled out OS. What other symptoms do you get with your OS
