    If your doctor has ruled out any heart problems it could be costochondritis which is inflammation of the bit that joins your ribs to your chest. It gives you a sharp pain in the centre of your chest which radiates up through your chest which could feel similar to pains from heart problems. Look up costochondritis and see if you think any of the symptoms match. If you have this the pain can also make you panic thinking you are having a heart attack which can lead you panicking which increases you heart rate and could make you feel hot and cold which could explain the chills you've been having. I have it and mine was caused by my dog pulling me round suddenly chasing a cat! Any sudden twisting or impact movement can cause it. If you think it could be this try ibuprofen heat and also try to relax.
