Chest pain during physical activity like jogging and running, with normal results on echo and ECG, could be due to musculoskeletal causes such as muscle strain or costochondritis. It could also be related to conditions like acid reflux or anxiety. You can try taking over-the-counter pain relievers like ibuprofen for muscle pain, or antacids for acid reflux. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques for anxiety may also help. If the pain persists or worsens, further evaluation may be needed.
