Curious Chest Pain From Hard Cardio - Curious Peoples Thoughts

Hey everyone! Maybe a bit of an oddball post but I am quite healthy, biohack, eat well, do some peptides, and have had a somewhat perplexing health issue pop up.

Occassionally when I do extremely hard cardio (all out 5k's, play hockey, did a workout class today that was ~500 calories in 40 minutes HIIT type) I get chest pain right where my heart is. It is like a low level discomfort and the pain increases slightly when I take a deep breath. The closest thing I could describe it as is it feels almost like a bruise on my heart.

Following up on this I went to the doctor, one thing led to another, I've had a calcium score, CT angiogram, and ultrasound. Thankfully all came back clear with no plaque of any sort, and a non concerning 'athletes heart' (slightly enlarged left ventricle) diagnosis on the ultrasound.

At this point I feel like I need to chase down the pulmonary side... perhaps my lungs are inflammed and since the heart is crammed in there I feel the pain when breathing?

Going to go down the route of a doctor, but curious if anyone here has heard of, experienced similar, or has any ideas? Thanks in advance!
