Hi,
Your CPK levels are significantly high, and since the ECG with other tests were normal, so it is less likely to be cardiac.
Raised CPK can be due to some oral euglycaemic drugs (like metformin), or due to statins which might be prescribed to you. A condition commonly named as rhabdomyolysis should also be ruled out.
With all above facts, and the clinical scinario, i would recommend you to discuss with your primary care physician for thorough cardiac evaluation, with sequential ECGs, cardiac specific enzymes (troponin, CKMB), and other stress tests, too rule out ischaemic event in heart, which could be the reason for the clinical scenrio with which you presented at hospital.
