Treadmill test: The decision about further testing really depends on your risk factors for heart disease and the description of chest pain. All in all given your age this test is reassuring especially if you did not have the pain with treadmill test and if you exercised to 75% of your goal heart rate

Risk stratify: I do not know you underlying symptoms but if all is normal and you have not had recurrent chest pain you should be fine. However, if the pain persists it may be smart to seek further evaluation.
