Brief Answer:
Muscle strain

Detailed Answer:
Hi,

I understand your concerns.

Following is my reply:

1) The pain could be due to muscle spasm which occurs once in a while. This could be due to wrong sleeping position or strain on muscle.

2) However I suggest you get ECG test done to rule out heart attack as you are prone to heart attack.

Let me know if you need anymore help.

Regards
