Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX

Welcome back to Ask a Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that your symptoms seem to be related to local inflammation, probably costochondritis and tendinitis.

I don't think that your symptoms are related to the heart.

There is no need to perform any additional cardiac tests, as I am sure that they will result normal.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

Wishing all the best,

Dr.Iliri
