Cardiologist,  's  Response
needle like pinching pain is very atypical of cardiac pain which is dull more likely a sort of heaviness like feeling
your pain can be because of muscular cause also..
try
tab diclofenc sr 100mg once daily for 5days

tab pan 40 once before break dast for 10days and see if the pain settles down
a tmt test and echo 2d is advisable to rule out any possible cardiac cause
