Dean, i'm sorry to hear you are having trouble being diagnosed,i don't have any answers for you but i am having chest pain,shortness of breath,near passing out but not quite for about 2 years, i have ECG, STRESS ECHO, ECHO,and THALLIUM STRESS, also, many MONITORS, all negative and cannot get a diagnosis. the reason i am replying to you is that in my desperation i went to a chiropractor who took an xray of my spine and said i have a slight curvature of the spine, he said if a persons spine is slightly curved in certain places it can effect the way the heart functions, this is not heart disease as such, but it can effect the way the heart and its valves function, i didn't follow through with this as i am a bit of a sceptic, but you might not be as sceptical as me so i thought it might be one avenue you could follow up, there is nothing worse than feeling desperate with health and not being able to get a diagnosis.
kind regards
