I've been having chest pain on the left side for about a year now. I've done all sorts of tests like ECG, echo, and TMT, and they all came back normal. For more clarity, I even had a CT coronary angiogram done. I've attached the frame and report here. Could you please take a look and let me know what's going on?

It is possible that you may be experiencing musculoskeletal pain or other non-cardiac causes of chest pain. To help alleviate your symptoms, you can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) as needed. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques and maintaining good posture may also be beneficial. If your symptoms persist or worsen, please follow up with your healthcare provider for further evaluation and management.
