Thanks for using this forum...

If your cardiogram is fine ,Maybe its related to your spine.The symptoms can be due to cervical spondylosis which is quite common in your profession.Ithink you should meet a neurologist for workup of MRI scan of cervical spine and treat these neuropathic pain.

take care...
