Hi,
You should not worry. Your complains are not connected with heart condition.
You can check your vertebra or joints to clarify from where your pain is coming.
Anyway for preventing further heart problems after some years I would advise you to follow healthy lifestyle: to lose weight if you are overweight, to exercise much, have healthy diet, do not smoke and do not drink much alcohol.
Wish you good health
