I had something similar this past summer, pre-injury.

They did all the usual tests which were inconclusive, then a diptetro scan (two day test, image with dye, at rest and after cardio)

Long story short, no heart problems, no diagnosis, was chalked up to injury somewhere in my chest wall/ribs from increased exercise. They tried to pass it off as anxiety too at first but it really felt different than that.

Injuries there don't have to be severe to cause long lasting pain apparently and mine went away in a few months, just in time for me to fall on my head and cause myself new issues. LOL

Hope it heals up soon or you get answers soon!!!

About it: October 26, 2012 I fell backward on an icy parking lot at work. I was on Workers Comp for 9 months. My PCS : everyday headaches became once in a while headaches, and neck pain became manageable. Still have occasional mild dizziness, sometimes fullness in the ears, convergence insufficiency, sequencing struggles, short term memory struggles, verbal processing delays. CT neg, MRI neg. Therapies: prism glasses, acupuncture, icing neck, resting, supplementing, Elavil 20mg at bedtime.

NEW: Completed 12 weeks of physical therapy and returned to work full time.

About me: I'm a marketing manager, a mom with a blended family and wife to a heart attack survivor. I believe my brain injury taught me more than it cost me. I'm grateful to still be me!
