Hello,
It may be just muscle pain, as in your age the possibility of having a heart pain is quite low. However, to be on the safe side, I would recommend you to refer a doctor to do cardiac stress tests to rule out heart disease.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
