Kind of a costochondritis? It doesn't seem like it's cardiac or they would have had a diagnosis by now from when you went in for the EKG.
Costochondritis Overview
Costochondritis is an inflammation of the junctions where the upper ribs join with the cartilage that holds them to the breastbone or sternum. The condition causes localized chest pain that you can reproduce by pushing on the cartilage in the front of your rib cage. Costochondritis is a relatively harmless condition and usually goes away without treatment. The cause is usually unknown. Costochondritis affects females more often than males (70% versus 30%).
Costochondritis (with unknown cause) is a common cause of chest pain in children and adolescents. It accounts for 10%-30% of all chest pain in children. Annually, doctors evaluate about 650,000 cases of chest pain in young people 10-21 years of age. The peak age for the condition is 12-14 years of age.
Overall, costochondritis is one of the most common causes of musculoskeletal chest pain.
While chest pain can represent heart disease, costochondritis is also considered as a possible diagnosis in adults who have chest pain.
Tietze syndrome is also a cause of localized musculoskeletal chest pain
