Brief Answer:
Your symptoms are not related to the heart.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
This kind of pain in this region is typical of musculoskeletal pain, just local inflammation. Fibromyalgia may mimic this clinical situation too.
For this reason there is no reason to panic about your heart. Just relax and don’t worry about it! Local warm pads and acetaminophen will help relieve the pain.
Hope you will find this information helpful! Please let me know in case of further questions! Wishing all the best.
