What Causes Mild Chest Pain?

I am missionary in Guinea Bissau, therefore, i cannot go to the doctor. I have been having mild chest pain for about 3 days...what could be the cause..I am 37, and work out everyday of my life, am very physically active, am not over weight, and have never had health problems. I do not drink, have never smoked, never done drugs of any kind...
Our diet here is very basic. Fish and rice and root vegitables every day.

Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, you are mostly having simple musculoskeletal pain.
So follow these steps for better symptomatic relief in musculoskeletal pain.
1. Avoid movements causing pain.
2. Avoid bad postures in sleep.
3. Avoid heavyweight lifting and strenuous exercise.
4. Take painkiller like ibuprofen.
5. Apply warm water pad on affected areas.
6. Sit with proper back and chest support.
Don't worry, you will be alright with all these in 1-2 weeks.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
