Hi,
As the pain is confined we have to rule out cardiac causes including possible myocardial infarction.
Consult a physician and get an ECG done.
Most probably it is due to musculoskeletal causes.
As of now, you can NSAIDs like Aceclofenac or Diclofenac for pain relief.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
