I have gone through your query carefully.Since it is not associated with palpitation, anxiety ,it looks to be a muscular/soft tissue inflammation.
My suggestions are as following-
1.Hot water fomentation, gel application (pain killer),along with tablet tums and ibuprofen will help.
I hope you do not have any heart related disease?
Hope this answers your query. I shall be glad to answer any further query.
