Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic. I can understand your concern. Yes, you should definitely consult emergency room and get done ecg and blood pressure monitoring to rule out cardiac pain. If these are normal then no need to worry heart diseases. Muscular spasm can cause similar kind of pain. So apply warm water pad on affected areas. Avoid movements causing pain. Take simple painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs. Don't worry, you will be alright but first rule out heart diseases. Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
