Many reasons: There are many reasons for this and the best thing is to get a full workup by your doctor. Causes when EKG and CXR normal: drug use, anxiety, recent lung infection like pneumonia or bronchitis, smoking (anything), reflux disease, coronary vasospasm, subtle cardiac rhythm abnormality not caught on EKG, and others.
