    I have something similar to what you have, I have also had all the tests because of heart symptoms. Was told my heart is fine but after 8 years since the initial episode that sent me on the downward spiral, I do have some thickening of a section of the heart, valve regurgitation, palps, chest pain, shortness of breath. Unfortunately, there can be circulatory problems in the body that cause heart issues,(blood clots and such) the problem is doctors will say there's nothing wrong with your heart when something in another part of the body is causing heart symptoms. I did find out I have a torturous artery in my neck but everytime I ask could this be causing heart issues the doctor says no. I'm sorry that you're going through this with no answers. Did you happen to have a strenuous workout before the changes happened to you and you didn't feel right?
