Hello dear I understand your concern Your symptoms could be due to costochondritis/musculoskeletal pain , cardiac problem, pancreatitis, pulmonary cause/pleuritis, anxiety. I would suggest to consult internal medicine specialist and undergo examination, ECG, chest X ray, routine blood tests, CK, amylase. If all tests will come normal then pain could be due to musculoskeletal pain , anxiety. Meanwhile take Tablet DAN-MR Tablet rantac Apply warm pad application, Other specific cause depend on cause Do regular exercise, eat healthy diet, drink plenty of water Hope this may help you
