I've been getting these sharp, quick pains in my lower chest, kinda like a prick behind my rib near the chest area. I've gone through a whole bunch of tests like the treadmill test, ECG, coronary calcium scoring, and lots of blood tests for heart stuff.

The pain only lasts a few minutes each time it hits, but it's happening multiple times a day at random intervals. It feels like something's tightening up inside my stomach and squeezing it hard for a moment. What could be causing this? Any advice would be really appreciated.
