Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain you something and give you my opinion. You should know that typical heart pains have some characteristics. They usually are retro-sternal pains likes quizzing, tightness or heaviness. They may irradiate to both arms, neck and jaw. Furthermore, they last from 5 to 20 minutes. A heart attack is usually more Chat Doctor. Heart pains are not related with outside factors, meaning that you cannot have a heart attack if you just hurt your chest. If your electrocardiogram is normal, this is a very good think. You don't mention your age but if I was your treating doctor to exclude any heart problem I would recommend some examination like a cardiac echo, a full blood analyze, cardiac enzymes and a street test if it is possible. Aftet this you can be quite sure if it is something to worry about or is just a muscular or Celtic problem. Knowing the reason helps to understand how to treat it. Hope I was helpful. Best regards,
