Since from one year sometimes i feel pain in chest area and I have gone through various tests and following are the results i.e. Total Cholesterol is around 190, Triglycerides = 245, LDL= 135 and  TMT test is normal, Echo Cardigram is normal, ECG is normal and even chest X-Ray is normal so why i am feeling pain around chest area? is it related to heart or is there something else i need to take care. please advise?

    It could be an oesophigeal problem. Ask your GP for a gastroscopy, or try something like Ranitidine to see if it helps with the symptom.

    My experience is never rely on ECG or chest X-Ray. Get a blood test done.Check then results yourself on line.

    Chest pains could also be a result of back pain, trapped nerve or something like that, sounds silly but it happens.

    My biggest tip though, DO NOT BELIEVE THE DOCTORS. They are after all only human and they make mistakes. I had every sympton of a heart attack, pain, dizzeness, shortness of breath etc etc 3 hours later I was dead.

    ECG, blood test showed no indication of abnormality. If you spend a bit more time looking at your blood results, I guarentee you'll see a slight indication of a heart attack.

    With greatest respect to our healers, do not take thier word as final.

    There can be different reasons of pain in chest. They can be caused not only by heart issues, but also by the changes happening in certain organs located near the heart.

    Among them are:

    Chronic Esophagitis (irritation of the inflamed esophageal walls caused by  gastric juices).

    Cholelithiasis (gallstones)

    Degenerative Processes of the Spine (intercostal neuralgia)

    Viral Infection of the Nerve Endings

    Cardioneurosis

    So, taking into account information above you should definitely visit a general practitioner to have the necessary examination in order to find out the real reason of this pain.

    You may be directed to take Blood tests to check for levels of certain enzymes normally found in heart muscle, Computerized tomography (CT scan) (to check your heart and lung arteries for blockages and other problems.)

    Stress tests (which will show whether your pain is related to your heart). There are many kinds of stress tests. The most common is based on exercises (you are asked to pedal a stationary bike or to walk on a treadmill at increasing levels of difficulty while checking your ECG).
