Hello,
I would explain that your symptoms do not seem to be related to the heart.
Is the chest pain triggered by deep breathing or body movements? This would indicate a musculoskeletal pain. In such a case, ibuprofen would help.
Anyway, if the pain persists, I would recommend going to the ER for a physical exam, a resting ECG and cardiac enzymes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
