Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
The pain in chest ribs and shoulder and the aggravation of pain on moving is suggestive of a muscle pull. This is not likely to be related to a heart attack if there is no associated breathlessness sweating or palpitation.
Avoid all the painful activities and start with a mild pain killer like Aleve after meals. You can also use a local analgesic gel on the area for a faster relief.
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.
