Majority of chest pain proves to be musculoskeletal in origin with spine notoriously involved in many, unfortunately hard to identify cause on imaging. A study to better visualize his aorta may be needed as well.

Impressive list of tests. Since the pain seems to occur during activity, important to be sure that a stress test is negative. No information about family history and other risk factors. Please discuss with your doctor as to what else should be done. Please provide your doctor with additional details. Good luck.
