If they did ekg then you have to trust them. If u r still concern request a stress Test. But we have to trust doctor.

I disagree. We know our bodies and if something the doctor is saying doesn’t sit well with you trust your instincts. Doctors are trained to think horses when they hear hoof beats but sometimes they should think zebras.

If it hurts like sharp pain to the touch to press into your ribcage or sternum then you have Costochondritis aka Tietze. Yes it is hard to breathe when it flares up due to heavy or improper lifting.
