Good news: Sounds ike your symptoms are not heart related and could be coming from something else. Rest assured but if it doesn't improve seek more medical evaluation again.

Stress test: If ischemia (less than normal blood supply) was present, addtional testing, including possible heart catheterizaton, is needed to determine the extent of disease and the best way to treat it.

Non cardiac pain: It appears that your heart may not be the source of pain. Evaluation for g.I respiratory and musculoskeletal causes.

CAD: Stress tests can be falsely negative. If pain persists, coronary angiography must be performed to rule out coronary artery disease.
