Needs an urgent cardiac evaluation.
Detailed Answer:
Dr. Hanif warmly Welcomes you!
Thanks for consulting at my virtual clinic. I have carefully worked through your case, and can realize your health worries. Being your physician, I will take care all of your medical concerns.
Pain of this nature usually is due to a cardiac problem. It may also be just skeletal muscular pain. But needs to be ruled out first by a cardiologist. So, I recommend you to please get a proper evaluation of your heart. Cardiologist will go for an EKG, Exercise Stress Test, some blood work and will tell you the status of your heart vasculature and muscles as a whole. After getting all work up done, you may consult me back anytime directly from my profile by clicking at Ask Me a Question. I will be more than happy to assist you as soon as possible.
If we take it as a muscular spasmodic pain, I usually recommend applying topically over the chest, Arnica gel spray; and, capsaicin cream. Take Ibuprofen for pain too.
Have a wonderful time ahead. Hope I answered all of your questions. If satisfied, close the discussion and give five star rating.
Regards!
