Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

     Your symptoms do not suggest Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). However, it is better to have a Treadmill Exercise Electrocardiogram (TMT). If it is normal, nothing to do – except to repeat annually. If in doubt, further work up is done..
     CT chest may be necessary to assess lungs, rib, spine....
     Over The Counter (OTC) Non Steroidal Anti Inflammatory Drugs (NSAID) / muscle relaxants / anxiolytics will be useful in the meanwhile...

Take care     
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
