Most likely GERD: Good thing you had Normal Stress test. If you do not get Chest pain while Exercising; chances are this pain NOT com in from Heart. If you get mid sternum pain after you eat, in supine position , associated with sour taste in mouth at times, It is because of Acid Reflux. Rx Pepcid (famotidine) and Omeprazole is good. Avoid eating 3 hours prior to bedtime and Avoid Spicy food. Get checked for Gall Stone !

Chest discomfort: It sounds like you had a cardiac workup and it was negative. Risk factors for heart disease include smoking, family history
