Hi thanks for asking question.

Elevated ALA here can be because of heart problem.Do you have done ECG?

You have positive ANA ..so you could have SLE like multisystem disorder ..Rule out it by antids DNA or other suitable method.
SLE can lead to endocarditis and so chest pain can occur.

Do your ECG to rule out cardiac condition.

If still pain increasing and respiratory symptoms present with fever chest x ray done to rule out infection.

If you have long term viral infection then also chest pain can occur as constitutional symptom.

Wish you good health...

Take care...
