Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I don't think that these pain have to do with the heart because the pain that comes when touching it's not with cardiac origin. It may be a muscular problem that may go with some nonsteroid anti-inflamation drugs like Ibuprofen.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
