You need to start trusting the results. I am very surprised why they gave you seven ECGs, that is very excessive. Seriously, with all of those tests if there was a problem then it would have been found, guaranteed!

I would recommend CBT because this fear seems very embedded into you that medical tests cannot budge.

Please go to your GP and explain your fear. There's absolutely nothing wrong with your heart but you're suffering from anxiety. Tell him that. Perhaps he can refer you to a therapist or prescribe a med to help you calm down.

Hope you feel better

Just at random times? What tests have you had done?

I have the left arm thing too, and the fact that it happens when you move is a good sign. That's not normally the case if it's cardiac (so the doctors always say). Like me, anxiety may be making you tense your left shoulder/arm all the time. I've practically wrecked mine. The only good thing is that once the cracking became very obvious, it did actually make the left arm pain less scary to me.
