Angina?: If you were concerned about a heart related cause of your pain, it would not be unreasonable to pursue further testing. Especially being that you are a woman; we tend to under-recognize the possibility of heart disease in women as a medical community. Stress test would be helpful to confirm or deny the possibility of heart disease.
