OK: Since you already had work up most likely could be costo-chondritis but still needs to be seen by a Dr.

Noncardiac: Your tests have ruled out a cardiac cause for the chest discomfort. Since it occurs after workouts which are probably strenuous, the discomfort may be due to muscular stress and strain of the rib cage. Sometimes you can actually Palpate the area in question and feel tenderness or worsen it with a deep breath.

Chest pain: Given the negative test results, your age, gender, and lack of family history, your risk of there being any significant blockage in one of the arteries of heart. In other words you are at very low risk of having a heart attack within the next 10 years. Having said that, these predictions are no 100% certainties. To be on the safe side, it is a good idea to lighten up a work out that causes pain
