Brief Answer:
Unlikely to be muscular
Detailed Answer:
HI
Thanks for reverting back .
First of all your ECG is normal . I personally feel that it is not muscular . As per your description I feel that the pain could be because of either of these 2 reasons .
1. Heart Problem .
2. Nerve compression at your Neck Level .
Since you have said that your previous TMT and doppler were normal I am in favour of the second cause , that is Nerve compression at your Neck Level . This Condition is called Cervical Radiculopathy where nerves which supply neck , shoulder and chest gets compressed between the neck bones and cause pain .
For confirmation you will require a X ray of Cervical spine . But along with that it's better you repeat TMT so that we become very much sure that its not heart related .
Kindly revert back with X ray report .
Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
Happy to help you.
