Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to the heart.

Detailed Answer:
Dear,

Your symptoms are suggestive of a muscle spasm, nothing serious .

Anxiety can also mimic this situation.

Anyway, I would exclude any possible cardiac issues.

So, try to relax and don't worry about it!

I would recommend taking a camomile tea and use a local ointment ( muscle relaxant or any other pain relief gel) on the chest skin.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,

Dr.Iliri
