Hello,
In my daily practice the patients with asthma does not have chest pain. The major symptom of asthma is dyspnea, or difficulty while breathing. Said that, I agree with your doctor that the pain can be a muscular chest strain. I recommend to use antii-nflammatory medication and warm compresses for local application.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
