Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, possibility of pulled muscle is more likely.
But better to first rule out heart diseases.
So get done ecg and 2d echo.
If they are normal then no need to worry for heart diseases.
Apply warm water pad on affected areas of chest.
Avoid movements causing pain. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise. Avoid sudden jerky movements of chest.
Take simple painkiller like paracetamol or ibuprofen.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
