Hi there. I'm sorry it caused you worry to read what I had written. I was speaking largely in general terms - as I am sure you would be aware discussing medical situations, despite being medically trained, over the internet is not the best way to do things and I would hesitate to tell anyone that it is ok to sit at home and do nothing if they experience chest pain they are concerned about, it should be investigated at least once throughly.

It certainly does sound that if you are known to a cardiologist. have previously had negative stress tests and have had recurrent episodes of the same type of pain with negative ECG's then you have been worked up appropriately to exclude a cardiac cause. Your primary care doctor knows you much better than I ever can over the internet so I defer to their more expert opinion and interpretation of your recurrent presentations. Take solace in the fact that previous investigations have shown the pain to be non-cardiac in origin.
