Good afternoon doctors. How often should you get an EKG and a cardiac ultrasound with carotid test?

Had over 100 ecg tests. 2x 24 hour recorders. 2x heart ultrasound. All normal. Get chest pain now and again. Hours ago I got sharp pain here and there. Now it's back. Feel more upon movements. But sometimes at rest. Heart attack? other cardiac issue?

How do they diagnose acute coronary syndrome?. I've had a heart ultra sound EKG and stress test. Every time i work out i get horrible chest pains .

Chest pain that comes and goes two or thee times a day, no increase with exercise. Went to ER 2 days ago--ECG and blood tests normal, ultrasound of heart and lungs show no cardiac or lung related issues. Rather worrying--what else could this be?
