Hi thanks for asking question.
You have chest pain only since 4 hour.
Here are the possibilities.
First possibility of simple muscular pain is more as no other symptoms present,it may result from excess weight bearing or improper sleep posture.
Simple analgesic is taken.
Second if associated headache, sore throat or runny nose present then chances of viral infection is there.Symptomatic management done for it.
Third if sweating along with increasing constricting chest pain then ECG is done.
If cough and breathlessness is present then chest x ray done.
Just now take it as simple muscular pain and take analgesic for that.
If no relief then further work up done.
I hope my suggestion will help you.
