chest pain Angina

[blueoceans81]

I have been having chest pain for more than couple of years,it is on and off.It pains when Im stressed or experiencing heavy emotions,it is like a biting pain in chest and leftside back if Im too stressed then sometimes my left arm pains it goes off after sometime.Im 27 male had blood and urine test and ECG checked before but the doc say everthing is normal .I went to the doc today again as I have been ignoring it since last many years,Stress test ,ECG and 2D ECO was done all are normal doc say its normal and could be some muscular pain,muscular pain wont last for years and show symptoms of angina.I also feel drowsy and lethargic even after a good sleep
How severe is this? I read about nitroglycerin and Propranolol Hydrochloride would you recommend it?(they are sold off the shelf in the country where I live)

It sounds like you have had the same issues I had. I went through three trips to the er in 3 mos. 3 or 5 trips  to walk in doctors. EKG's were always perfect, blood work fine, bp and pulse fine. Finally had an angiogram where they found my LAD was bridged. They put a stent in and I was fine for a while. Now I am having symptoms again(they don't seem to be the same as before). I am wondering if it isn't something GI from the meds and probably even more likely just anxiety this time. Wondering what they did to treat your bridged artery and if there were any complications after.

I would encourage you to ask your cardiologist (if you don't have one get one) to schedule a ct angiogram.  If your insurance approves it, it is a very accurate test and is not invasive.  
I know stress and anxiety can make the pain worse, but I would make sure by having every test to give you peace of mind.
I had a stress test, EKG, Echo, Bloodwork, Chest X-ray, Angiogram etc and all were "normal."  I didn't get any answers until I had a heart cath.  Every other test turned up normal, but after my third trip to the ER in a year the cardiologist scheduled the heart cath.  I just happen to have a cndition called Myocardial Bridging which is rare.    
Hopefully you won't have to go to that point but don't just live with the pain especially chest pain.
