Brief Answer:
Not likely to be a heart attack.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The appearance of pain on changing the posture is suggestive of musculoskeletal pain. Since your EKG and other investigations are normal and there is no shortness of breath it is not likely to be due to a cardiac cause.
Such pain usually improves with rest and mild pain killers.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
