Brief Answer:
Muscular pain likely.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
I have seen the attached reports. The cardiac echo and ECG findings are almost normal. These are not the cause of pain she is having. It is more likely to be a muscular pain. Rest to overhead activities, hot compress and oral muscle relaxants will help in bringing relief.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
