What Causes Pain In Chest Above The Breast?

I have twisted my left ankle my stepping on a small rock so I have been limpping around over a week. I did use crutches one day but they were so uncomfortable and actually hurt my upper body. I am currently having chest pain above left breast and it happened over an hour ago. I woke up with pain and it has been a few days. i feel pain in the mornings. The pain is not going away this morning. I am also about to have a period soon so my breasts are tender. I am 46 year old female under 5 foot tall, weighs about 103 pounds. Would I be having a heart attack?

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to worry for heart attack.
By your history and description, possibility of musculoskeletal pain due to crutches is more.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Sit with proper back and chest support.
5. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
6. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
