While heart problems are in the differential here, remember there are several other organs in your chest besides your heart - any of them can contribute to your symptoms.

Also, a well-done scan can rule out an infection as well.

The moral is, keep the different options in mind and try not to jump to conclusions until you've had a thorough workup by a competent doctor paying attention to YOU and not his wristwatch.

You're right in looking for another opinion. Pain is rarely normal. Unless you're in labor or having monthly cramps, it means something is wrong and needs your attention.

Good luck!
