There should be a: relatively simple answer. You just have not had the right test yet because the Drs are avoiding invasive tests like angiography. Blood tests will not reveal the answer, you need imaging studies. CT or MRI of thorax. Or angiography. Ultrasound might potentially show something.

Anatomic issue: Think coarctation or subclavian artery syndrome. Go see a good cardiologist and discuss with him.
