I've been experiencing some occasional tingling or numbness on the left side of my chest, like maybe twice a week. It doesn't really hurt or anything. I've read online that it might be related to anxiety, but I don't feel anxious or stressed out. Do you think I should see a doctor about this, or is it something normal?

Question

I'm experiencing some persistent chest pain, and it's been going on for over two months now. It feels like a pinching pain right in the middle of my chest, but sometimes it shifts to the right or left side. There are also times when my heart starts beating really fast. I've had an ECG, echo, and TMT done, and all the results came back normal. I'm still feeling this pain and it's quite unsettling. Could you help me figure out what might be going on or suggest what I should do next?
