I've exhausted every heart test. all normal. i have bad pain at the top of my spine doctors tell me the occasional chest pinch i feel is from my back?

Definitely could be.: not all chest pains are cardiac. If ti is occasional and you're only 27 and have been thoroughly checked out (sounds like you have!) I would agree this is probably muscular. Stretching your back and pecs, daily aerobic exercise, and asking your doc if there's evidence of esophageal/ GI pain (since that'd be treated differently and can feel like you describe) are the first things that pop to mind.

Chest pain: There are many causes of chest pain, the heart is one, intestinal gas and thoracic musculoskeletal pains are very common, anxiety and panic attacks likewise are frequent causes. You should always ask the doctors who see you what they think is the problem you came for and what to do about it.
