Thanks for your question on Chat Doctor. In my opinion, your pain is more suggestive of musculoskeletal nature as you had heavy exertion by shifting big box. But still I advise you to rule out cardiac and pulmonary cause for this. So get done1. ECG to rule out cardiac cause.2. Chest x-ray to rule out pulmonary cause. If both of the above are normal than it muscle be due to muscle pull. Try to follow these.1. Avoid heavy weight lifting.2. Avoid heavy exertion.3. Avoid bad postures in bed.4. Take good painkillers and muscle relaxant.5. Apply warm water pad to the affected area.
