Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your situation and problem.
Since your scans are normal, no need to worry for major cardiac and Pulmonary causes.
Possibility of musculoskeletal pain is more in your case.
So better to follow these steps for symptomatic relief.
1. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
2. Avoid movements causing pain.
3. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
4. Start painkiller and muscle relaxant drugs.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected site.
Don't worry, you will be alright in 1-2 weeks time.
Hope I have solved your query.
I will be happy to help you further.
Wish you good health. Thanks.
